IMHO, your changes are too large for a detailed ChangeLog entry. Instead, I recommend that you simply merge your branch back into master, leaving your single commits intact. The merge should be accompanied with a ChangeLog entry that gives an overview of what the commits in the branch do. > Also, I will need to change the dates of the commits (currently the > first commit related to automake on `automake3', which comes after > the most recent commit in master, is dated in August). Why do you want to change commit dates? I don't see a problem here. Werner
