Ok. I just had this brainstorm....

Ok.

Do we have some way of entering a template for the log message?

So that when we get in there, instead of a line that says "------ everything below this
line will be ignored---------", we can have those files already listed as part of the log
and we can add our comments to them?

Or a switch perhaps that would make the files part of the default message?

Or even possibly a switch that would allow us to enter one log message at a time,
although that would probably be very inefficient.

I am wondering because it seems to me that when we are making changes, we spend
a lot of time entering the log message or we forget to include something.

How do you all do it? Do you maintain a list of changes externally and then just read
that file into the log editor?

Is there a hook to hook into to *generate* this content on the fly before it gets into the
log editor?

What's the scoop? :) Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S. I am attempting a stock build of the Mandrake RPMs. So far so good w/ very few
minor inconveniences, but I will collect them all before submitting them along with a
full log of changes from where I took over, that fits what is in HACKING.
