Description David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2006-06-24 20:48:25 PDT 
It would be nice to have prepare-ChangeLog work on a list of files or directories to limit its scope when creating ChangeLog entries.  I realize this is a double-edged sword since this means that some changes could be left out if someone runs prepare-ChangeLog incorrectly, but as all good command-line (UNIX) tools do, it would give you enough rope to hang yourself.  :)

Patch v1

Changes to prepare-ChangeLog:

- Copied canonicalizePath() and processPaths() subroutines from svn-create-patch and reformatted their curly braces.
- Added subroutine prototypes.
- Updated help message.
- Changed initial "svn diff" to use list of files and directories passed in (if any).

Changes to svn-create-patch:

- Removed unused $startDir variable.
- Tweaked help message.
- Extracted processPaths() subroutine to make it easier to copy to prepare-ChangeLog.
