Dunno if you care, but Alexandre Oliva has a nice set of cvs/patch
utilities that solve this problem. One, `clcleanup', turns a patch
with a ChangeLog patch entry into a patch with a specially-formatted
ChangeLog entry. Then you can run this through `cl2patch' and it will
turn the specially-formatted entry into a patch that will apply the
ChangeLog entry to the top of the current ChangeLog. I use this all
the time. It is very convenient.
You can get these programs from subversions.gnu.org:/cvs, module
`cvs-utils'.
