I've seen this done more often, and frankly, in my opinion this really is ugly. There is text in a changelog entry that has _nothing_ to do with that particular revision, better close the bug manually by just quoting the older changelog entry, or if it wasn't in the older changelog entry, just say it was fixed there. Branden Robinson told me that he does changelog editing of past revisions continuously for X, for reasons of being able to correctly lookup when a certain bug was fixed. Especially typo's in bugnumber for example can make a changelog quite useless if I want to determine when a certain bug was fixed, and a correct changelog makes it very easy to close bugs that were fixed some time ago by quoting the relevant changelog entry. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
