Description Tom Tromey CLA 2004-09-20 15:17:44 EDT 
On GNU projects it is typical to use the ChangeLog
entry as the commit message; ChangeLog entries are
required for all changes.

It would be convenient if Eclipse understood this convention.
For instance it could diff the ChangeLog and put the
new entry as the default text in the Team->Commit dialog.
Comment 1 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-09-21 11:46:02 EDT 
The solution for this is to open-up the commit operation and allow plug-ins to
contribute policies. You could then add a GNU commit wizard that would update
the ChangeLog and use the proper commit message.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
