You are correct - 2.2.4 IS mentioned in the ChangeLog during the
subsequent commit. So you think it is ok to hide the first commit under
a ChangeLog entry of "Version bump" ? I don't see the logic. My issue
with this is that other devs (or users) still don't know how or why the
dependancies got in the 2.2.5 version or what deps were fixed.

In this case, I would have committed a new 2.2.5 version with the
ChangeLog entry of: "Version bump, fix python dependancies that are
incorrect in the old" or somthing like that. This way commit #1 is not
hidden and placed under a false entry of commit #2.
