[Monotone-devel] Coders are getting sloppy!

I'm noticing a disturbing lack of coder discipline, there's been a lot
of changes lately that doesn't heed the following line from HACKING:

  All changes to the monotone source require an accompanying ChangeLog entry.

It may be that you feel it's unnecessary, since your entry is normally
simply copied into the revision change log.  The result,
unfortunately, is that the ChangeLog file is inconsistent, and
possibly even confusing in the long run.

So far, the main authors have decided that the ChangeLog file should
contain entries for all changes, lets respect that!  If you want to
change that "rule", take it up with them, but don't just ignore the
current requirements!

Cheers,
Richard
