Hi Christian,

let's take a real package as an example (on which I recently did some merges)

CHANGES.txt on the trunk:
http://svn.zope.org/zope.app.container/trunk/CHANGES.txt?rev=87370

CHANGES.txt on the 3.5 branch:
http://svn.zope.org/zope.app.container/branches/3.5/CHANGES.txt?rev=87428

Given what you said, what should these files look like?

Christophe
