If the reason why you want ChangeLogs is avoiding having to get the information about commit activity from CVS, then the proposal to make exaclty that the minimal ChangeLog entry seems reasonable. If in addition you always want to know about the motivation for the commit, then it won't be sufficient I guess. But based on the previous discussion on mandatory ChangeLogs I have not gotten the impression that this was typically called for. Best regards, Ch=C3=AD-Thanh Christopher Nguy=E1=BB=85n
