[webkit-dev] ChangeLog

[Jeremy Orlow]

To be more clear: Rietveld + gcl (the way Chromium does reviews/checkins)
has you specify a group of files which is called a change list.  Part of
each change list is a description.  Reviewers use and critique this
description, which is much like what's done with the ChangeLog.

Nothing lists out the modified functions like in your ChangeLog, but I guess
that's just not something people commonly need.  (And this could still be
done by an automated script or a new search tool if that'd still be helpful
to people.)

If you haven't taken a look at http://codereview.chromium.org I strongly
suggest you do so.  Rietveld + gcl really do make life easier for us on
Chromium--especially if you're a reviewer.  (It would also solve the 3 lines
of context issue that Julie brought up the other day.)
