It's more easy to read a human changelog, (shipped with packages which don't needs to connect to archlinux.org), than developer oriented commits. We can make the synthesis of several commit in the changelog to make it more understandable. And still try to make atomic commits. In addition separates VCS message and package history, let's it independant from vcs tools (svn/git/hg) we choose at a time. -- Sébastien Luttringer www.seblu.net
