Needs quite some through though. For starters you > probably don't want 'git commit -m "fix build"' show up in %changelog. Again we're repeating the discussion... Mandriva's mechanism is built to ignore commits that start with SILENT: . So if you do 'git commit -m "SILENT: fix build"' , it won't show up in the RPM changelog. All this is in the archives.
