No, no, this wasn't what I meant.  This ChangeLog file is actually
dead, remaining only for historical reason.

In the previous patch, you didn't mention the exact change you've made
in the patch description.  That is, the behavior were silently
modified.  This must not be done, it fools the users.

So, if you want to change something, especially if it's about the
behavior change, it has to be clearly documented in the patch
description and/or in the code itself.


In anyway, no need for resend: I dropped the ChangeLog file change but
applied the rest.


thanks,

Takashi
