See, I think that's bad. The change log should reflect all changes, be it in a released version or from Subversion. Or be it a release branch or the trunk.
Please note that our use of the CHANGES.txt is more that of `release notes` meaning it should have a more condensed form of what would be available using `svn log`. I wouldn't see the point maintaining a text file that has identical information that could be retrieved from SVN.
The condensed form is intended to provide better usability than to wade through hundreds of commits.
I meant the same thing, yes. The main point was simply that all branches and the trunk should always have a complete change log and no merging or picking stuff from one or more branches to get to the complete change history should be necessary. jens
