Add infrastructure towards detecting change log diffs that aren't at the top of the ChangeLog

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Daniel Bates]

Towards checking that a change log diff inserts an entry at the top of the ChangeLog file (and possibly have the caller print a warning if it does not), we need to modify VCSUtils::fixChangeLogPatch() so that it returns a reference to a hash structure instead of a string that represents a diff. This will allow us to return additional information to the caller, such as whether the the change log diff inserts an entry at the top of the ChangeLog file.

This looks very useful.  Sadly, I don't speak Perl.

Variable name should note it's a reference to a hash.  Maybe $changeLogHash.

Ditto.

Shouldn't the year of the copyright be after the "(C)"?

r=me with the variable name changes.

The RIM copyright string uses this explicit order.
