I think this follows from the problem of making both symbol-specific and top-level changes in a given file. Some folks do this: * build/ac-macros/serf.m4: Update the description. (some_func): Twiddle the deeznits. Others dislike the inconsistency, and prefer instead: * build/ac-macros/serf.m4: (): Update the description. (some_func): Twiddle the deeznits. Once you establish a habit of the latter, it sorta follows that when you have only top-level changes, you stick with your established pattern. -- C.
