The following description uses bound branches, presumably it works in

a similar way with unbound ones.

This will make merging ChangeLogs a lot smoother. It merges new
|

entries to the top of the file, rather than trying to fit them in

mid-way through.

This should make merging ChangeLogs smoother. It merges new entries
|
||||
to the top of the file, rather than trying to fit them in mid-way
|
||||
through. Newer versions of the plugin should also be able to deal
|
||||
with changes to *old* ChangeLog entries, that should not be floated to
|
||||
the head of the file (see launchpad#723968).
|
||||
|
||||
Sigh. This plugin has a drawback. People often like to edit older
|
||||
ChangeLog entries, not at the head of the file. Frequently they do
|
||||
this in the same commit as making new entries. Using this plugin
|
||||
will merge ALL changed entries (including older ones) to the top of
|
||||
the destination file.

||||

||||
Maybe the default Emacs behavior without this plugin is better, I dunno.

1) Get clean, up-to-date copies of the emacs-23 and trunk branches.
|
||||
Check for any uncommitted changes with bzr status.
