No, you do not find any unindented entries in the ChangeLog. Why do I get the feeling that you are not actually reading the ChangeLog file? We're talking about a *file* here. There is a ChangeLog file in many of the subdirectories of winsup. Haven't you ever done an 'ls' for crying out loud? The ChangeLog file has nothing to do with CVS. Look at the *FILE*, not CVS log entries. You have a multitude of examples to draw from and you're still getting it wrong. I don't think that adding more words to the web site will help. In 99% of the cases the mistakes that people make are mentioned on the web site already. If words could help, then repeatedly telling you to look at the file would have helped a long time ago. Telling you that ChangeLogs have nothing to do with CVS would also have worked. Telling you to look at the archives would have also been a strong clue. I don't mind so much if the entries are strangely indented due to brainddead mailers (although I really think you should use a new mailer if that is the case) but this miscommunication is really getting old. cgf
