Originally, I wrote the commit script simply to automatically pull the  
CVS commit log message with the ChangeLog, or to complain if the  
ChangeLog has not yet been updated. And as it grew we added various  
bells and whistles. It's entirely possible that the script makes less  
(or maybe no) sense since we've migrated our SCM to git...

In fact, I'm not even sure we base the version micro number on the  
ChangeLog anymore. (I would check, but it's less than straight forward  
from my iPhone)

Cheers,
Gary
