I've added a script to the Athena 10 repository post-commit hook to
grab newly-added changelog contents and shove them into the log
message for revisions committed with an empty log message. Example
output:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
r22818 | tabbott | 2008-04-06 16:30:05 -0400 (Sun, 06 Apr 2008) | 3 lines
In athrun:
* Merged quilt patches into mainline Athena tree
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having this information in the log message helps when investigating
the project history. For instance, if I want to see all changes made
to the config packages since X date, it's easier if I can look at the
Subversion logs of trunk/debathena/config without having to look at
each package's changelog.
I also ran the script over the 65 empty-log-message commits tabbott
has made and propagated the resulting revprop changes to the AFS copy
of the repository.
