Sure. Will anyone second?
Another thing I've been doing... I use `pcl-cvs' (a recent beta, in
XEmacs 21.2 beta; you can grab an _unofficial_ version and try it if
you like, off my http site. It is greatly improved over the older
version, and needs to be tested by someone who uses GNU Emacs, rather
than XEmacs.), and have `change-log-default-name' customized to
"ChangeLog.local".
When I make a changelog entry with `C-x 4 a', it puts that entry in
my local changelog file, so that later joins with upstream sources
don't create the inevitable conflicts in "ChangeLog". I also put
that ChangeLog.local into the doc directory... I only log packageing
type changes in the Debian changelog, and code mods are in the
ChangeLog.local file, since that works better with `pcl-cvs' and
`add-log'.
I guess the name could be other than *.local; leaving `local' for
users who are CVS tracking the Debian version of a source ball?
Hmmm. Any suggestions?
