My understanding is that ChangeLog entry should be copied at the end of commit log https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ContributionChecklist#Properly_formatted_co= mmit_messages > > And what's wrong with having error messages in ChangeLog's, anyway? Each entry in ChangeLog describes the changes to the code, https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Change-Log-Concepts IMO, error messages are out of the scope of what ChangeLog is intended to describe. Also, I've never seen such ChangeLog entry (with error messages) before. --=20 Yao (=E9=BD=90=E5=B0=A7)
