Thank you. The shortlogs are automatically generated, and I sometimes edit them to be slightly more readable by hand. What this means is that if you want a human-readable short-log, then your ALSA log message itself should be human-readable, and not that automated crap. So instead of your CVS merges doing this crap: > > (03/09/30 1.1457) > ALSA CVS update > D:2003/09/30 11:15:44 > C:RawMidi Midlevel > A:Takashi Iwai > F:core/rawmidi.c:1.38->1.39 > L:fixed typos (open_lock -> open_mutex). Why don't you just make the BK log something sane instead, ie RawMidi Midlevel: fixed typos (open_lock -> open_mutex). Bt Takashi Iwai (the "F:" is useless, since the files already show up in any sane source control, and the rest is just fluff.
