I also get bitten by $Log$ when merging, but OTOH I still use it.
This is partly because some of the projects I work on use "cvs export"
to affiliated projects whose only access to log information is
readeing the expanded log (though, yes, ChangeLog would be as good for
this).
What if there was a keyword like $Log$ but which expanded to the
entire log history (with comment leaders)? This would avoid the
merge problem and surely cannot be too expensive to compute.
Thoughts?
