Re: CVS commits and logs

[Richard Stallman]

    Yes.  A single merge-commit to the unicode-2 branch represents many,
    many changes on the trunk (hundreds of files, often multiple changes to
    each file), so I don't include changelog info in the CVS log entry at
    all.  The CVS log entry more or less says "merge from trunk of
    changesets X-Y."

That seems to make the file's CVS log rather useless.  Or is the idea
that those changesets remain visible in the file's CVS log?  In that
case, they are a sort of indirection to the other change log items,
and that is ok.
