Someone said it cannot support our codebase well enough. vcs-to-changelog assumes it's generating a ChangeLog for the entire git repo, not a subdir. that's why it works for glibc, and really doesn't work for us. unless we got agreement across all projects in here, and i didn't want to open that can of worms. i glanced through the script before to see if it could be adjusted to limit its path, but it didn't seem easy to pull off, so i gave up. not that i've evaluated it beyond that (i.e. what format it generates). -mike
