It seems you don't have the same hack methods as me. I generally hack on
stuff, and when I'm ready to commit, I check which files I changed, I
generate a cvs diff to verify there aren't unwanted changes, I update
ChangeLog, and I commit right after that. If you are organized enough to
update the ChangeLog after each minor change in the source, but only
commit a big chunk of changes at one, I understand that ChangeLog
conflicts get annoying pretty quickly ;)
