Bug ID: 156618
Summary: svn-apply: add option for ignoring changes to
ChangeLog files
Classification: Unclassified
Product: WebKit
Version: WebKit Nightly Build
Hardware: Unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: Tools / Tests
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: dburkart at apple.com

It would be nice if svn-apply had an option to skip all changes to ChangeLog files, for use
when not planning to commit after application. The specific case I am thinking of that this
would help with is the following scenario:
- The user is using git-svn (not sure if this happens with pure SVN)
- There are two ChangeLog entries in a row with the same header
- The user neglected to `git-svn rebase` or `svn up` before generating the patch
In this case, git will generate a patch that looks something like this:
2016-04-14 John Doe <johndoe at webkit.org>
+
+ Enhance interface foo with bar.
+
+ Reviewed By: NOBODY (OOPS).
+
+ This change does something
+
+2016-04-14 John Doe <johndoe at webkit.org>
Some other change that happens to be by John Doe.
The behavior of svn-apply, which is to attempt to patch the ChangeLog with `patch --fuzz=3`,
will not be sufficient, since a fuzz value of 3 will not work with this patch if HEAD has a
completely different ChangeLog entry at the top.
