If there's a mechanism to filter checkin messages to ChangeLog summaries, I would be happy to use it - in cases of multiple packages, especially, it's important to know what changes were made, when, and when the changes propagated through packages and releases, and where they got to, occasionally. Anybody know of a useful, built-in mechanism for this task? -- Ctalk Home Page: http://ctalk-lang.sourceforge.net
