I'd like to request that people do not use the date in the HEAD ChangeLog
entry, but rather the date of the merge in ChangeLog entries committed to
branches. Right now the binutils_2.10 branch's bfd/ChangeLog reads:
2000-04-14 Matthew Green <mrg@cygnus.com>
* config.bfd: Add NetBSD/sparc64 support.
2000-05-31 Mark Kettenis <kettenis@gnu.org>
Which implies time has gone backwards. With GNU software the ChangeLog
rather then the CVS logs are what I've been told to go by to determine
change. Having wrong dates for changes makes it harder for people to
decided if they should update their binutils_2.10 source used in their
various projects.
thanks!
