Individual users will still have to:
1. Install git-merge-changelog
2. Set up the merge driver in their git config
See gnulib's lib/git-merge-changelog.c [1] for details.
For example, I:
1. Patched Debian's gnulib package to build git-merge-changelog, and
sent the patch to the Debian maintainer, who then proceeded to not
only accept my patch but even write a *manpage* for
git-merge-changelog! (Let's hear it for Ian Beckwith.)
So now, I can install it simply by running "apt-get install
git-merge-changelog". (Except, of course, that I already have it
installed from when I was testing my patch.)
2. Did step (2) from .gitattributes
With this patch applied and the above two steps done by whatever means
you deem best, you can say goodbye to merge conflicts in ChangeLog
files -- at least *IF* people stop renaming the danged things, anyway.
If you don't do step 2, you will continue to suffer from ChangeLog
merge conflicts exactly as before, whether or not you did step 1.
If you do step 2 but not step 1, git will likely start complaining
that it can't find any "git-merge-changelog" to run.

[Note: The docs for git-merge-changelog (the comments at the top) say
that you need a .gitattributes in every directory. The docs are wrong.
Ignore the docs. Well, not the whole docs; just that part.
You really only need one at the top level, since .gitattributes uses
the same pattern matching rules as .gitignore, which match files in
any subdirectory unless you prefix the pattern with a "/", as
explained in the gitignore(5) manpage.]
README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
