I'm still a guy of ChangeLog files, which you generally needed for CVS to keep track of a large project :-) As the CVS commit message aren't much good anyway, I kept them short. Also for my own project I'm considering to replace these with larger commit messages and drop the ChangeLog files. > P.S.: Have not reviewed the patch at all, so cannot say anything about the > merits of it; will leave it to djpig ;-) Don't trust my Perl; its just copy and intelligent(-ish) paste :-) Works for me though and this isn't very complicated. Is there a test suite for git-cvsserver? Cheers --- Jan
