Question on push

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi Jerry,

yes, ChangeLog files are automatically generated from the commit log by 
the contrib/gcc-changelog/. If the generated changelog file is wrong 
because the script mishandled something, that script should be fixed.

In any case, if the ChangeLog file is wrong, you have to wait until the 
nightly script has run (which also bumps the gcc/DATESTAMP) and then you 
can fix the ChangeLog files and commit them.

PS: Your commit also missed the PR in the commit.

PPS: If you backport something, use 'git cherry-pick -x', which also 
will handle the backported information in the changelog.
