That's what you said last time (two or three years ago), and the time before, and the time before... Dgit also has this tool: dgit setup-mergechangelogs as well as dgit update-vcs-git which is even easier to use than what I proposed. Whether due to carelessness, or contempt of teamwork, making this kind of mess is unacceptable. When a new contributor does something like this, we expect them to clean up their mess and to not make extra work for every member of the team. As a senior member of the team, you know how to be collaborative; this is part of our CoC. You would expect anyone else to clean up their mess and enhance their scripts, so please clean up your mess and enhance your scripts. Regards, Nicholas
