I've been adding ChangeLog entries with (add-change-log-entry)

checkout from a couple of months ago) has this format:
2006-04-04 Jason Stover <address@hidden>
whereas John and Ben's have this format:
Mon Mar 27 16:00:42 2006 Ben Pfaff <address@hidden>
I noticed that my version of emacs has a function (change-log-redate),
which will change the latter format above (which it calls the 'old-style
date entries') into the first format.
I prefer one format over the other, but I would like to use the
'right' one. So which is 'right'? And if it the 'old-style' is right,
how can I get emacs to use it instead of the newer format?
I've just been using :r !date from vi --- mainly because I'd not
worked out how to use the Emacs ChangeLog mode.
In general, I don't like dates written all as numbers, in text
documents. I never know whether 2006-04-03 means April 03, or
March 04.
@moan{And I think it's about time CVS was replaced by something which
created it's changelogs automatically, instead of relying upon a
manual process which is duplicates information from the commit message
anyway.}
