STANDARD FORMAT FOR COMMIT MESSAGES
-----------------------------------
This message is for Laurent, Daniel, and all people that will have a write
access to the svn repository in the future.
I want to have a standard way to write commit messages, so that ChangeLog can
be almost automatically generated.
The format is the following:
* A ChangeLog slot, between '[' & ']'
* A ChangeLog modification: a '*', a space, the word 'BUG','NEW' or 'OPT', a
colon, a space, and the text.
'BUG' for a fix, 'NEW' for a new feature, and 'OPT' for an optimization.
Slots are the name of the component, in uppercase if possible, or some other
slots like [INTERPRETER], [COMPILER]...
All lines lengths must be lower or equal than 76 characters.
If a changelog modification is more than one line, you must use a two space
indent.
Void lines are ignored.
All other lines won't go into the changelog.
For example:
--8<-----------
I did this thing, and this won't go into the changelog.
[GB.QT]
* BUG: I fixed this bug.
* NEW: I made this very long modification....
and it takes more than one line to write it.
This won't go into the changelog too.
[GB.SDL]
* BUG: What an awful bug!
[GB.GTK]
* NEW: I finally finished the component :-)
--8<-----------
It would be cool to follow this scheme. I will start at my next commit.

Benoit.
