I had no idea such a wiki even existed. It would really help future
contributors, I'm sure, if, perhaps during copyright assignment, there were
some sort of "introduction" process that clearly communicated policies.
Thank you for the heads up.
But, you did do it again, just a little while ago.
No, I didn't. I have made one commit in the past week, with a one-liner
log message. This morning I used Mr. Lopez-Ibanez's advice in his
earlier post, number 148771, entitled "broken svn commit logs and how to
fix them" and changed the log message for revision 139145. I haven't
done a merge since the last time this issue came up.
