Why do you waste your time, indulging in such asinine whimsy? Why introduce a commit which contributes absolutely zero value? The ChangeLog entry, which you modified, was already 100% compliant with established GNU convention; I know this, because it was I who wrote it. I know that the lines were NOT excessively long, because I edited it in vim, with the default filetype plug-in for changelog active; this GUARANTEES that the lines are wrapped to a sane length (78 chars max), which is consistent with GNU convention. Pursuant to our recent discussion regarding ChangeLog files, if you are going to indulge in such futility, why should I even bother to update the ChangeLog at all? I may as well just provide the detail in the git commit message, and delegate the ChangeLog file update entirely to you. The sooner we deprecate free-standing ChangeLog files, the better, IMO.
