Thinking about the changelog problem, I had the following idea:
On the website there would be a place maybe called "myDevelopment" or
something. Here you would automatically find a list of all your recent
commits. Seperated by release version. By default every new commit
creates a new entry here. But you can manage the entries.
- Edit the message and component of each entry
- Mark an entry as trivial. These changes don't get into the changelog
at all.
- Split an entry, if a single commit contains 2 changes. You can fix up
the messages afterwards.
- Merge 2 or more entries into one new.
On release the whole stuff will be gathered together.
Additional features:
- Mark an entry as active workitem. Folling commits will automatically
go in there.
- Show recent activity on the frontpage.
- Add planned activities, private notes, TODOs, FIXMEs, status, bugzilla
links, etc
