'make change-history' copies all newer ChangeLog entries into the
start of the newest ChangeLog history file. These ChangeLog entries
are thereafter considered to be old, so later uses of 'make ChangeLog'
and/or 'make change-history' will no longer copy the entries. To
alter ChangeLog history, run 'make change-history', then edit
the ChangeLog history files manually and commit your changes.
and/or 'make change-history' will no longer copy the entries.
To alter ChangeLog history, run 'make change-history' and commit the
changes made by that command. Then edit the ChangeLog history files
manually and commit those changes in a second, distinct commit.
Altering ChangeLog history like this can make things harder for those
who handle merging branches and Emacs releases, so reserve it for
correcting more serious mistakes.
