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'. Tom
