           Summary: Improve git workflow by populating commit messages
                    with ChangeLog entries.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: eli at staikos.net

For git users, especially those working on local branches, it would be very
helpful to have the git commit messages in WebKit ChangeLog entry format.
Keeping the ChangeLog entries in the git commits instead of modifying the
actual ChangeLog files avoids many conflicts during development (especially
when doing rebases).

My intention is that the ChangeLog files will be updated properly before the
commits are pushed upstream, of course.

The change will involve modifying prepare-ChangeLog and commit-log-editor so
that using the workflow in http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit
(specifically using commit-log-editor as the git core.editor) will work nicely.
