Conerned about lack of detail in ChangeLog/commit messges


Rev 1.26 of gengenrtl.c changed the gen* utils from writing to a file to
writing to stdout.  I noticed this when upgrading the FreeBSD stock
compiler from 2.95.2 to 2.96 and all of a sudden my bmake Makefile broke.

The ChangeLog entry for this change is:

    revision 1.26
    date: 1999/09/07 05:47:55;  author: law;  state: Exp;  lines: +142 -130
    Merge in gcc2-ss-010999

This lack of detail was very annoying as I spent a lot more time than
needed to verify that the differences I noticed in gen* were intentional.
The diff from 1.25 to 1.26 is large enough to explain the change.
Looking at ``cvs log gengenrtl.c'' I was unable to find any details on
the "gcc2-ss-010999" branch.
