For example: I had that in mind, but since the author'ing info is in the ChangeLog file, I don't see any advantage of having to maintain it in the revision log as well. But this is again an area where I think having multiple options isn't going to hurt us, so I think we would be fine if some prefer it this way, while others use the author-less version. -- Joel
