From 9b556772b62d61b6a19594cff7796b46a94e70e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas De Schampheleire Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 11:07:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] manual: contributing: don't recommend leaving out changelog from patches Currently, the manual states that if you send a series and include a changelog in the introduction mail (0 of x), it is not necessary to include a changelog on the individual patches. This is not always convenient: for large patch series it requires going back to the introduction mail when opening each patch, to understand what changed. This patch rewords the paragraph accordingly.
