Changelog Merging
When merging branches, particularly master -> master-next, conflicts can often be
generated due to differing changelog entries. The dpkg-mergechangelogs tool can
automatically resolve conflicts in debian/changelog and ensure consistent ordering
of changelog entries.
This repository is configured to use dpkg-mergechangelogs to resolve conflicts in
debian/changelog. However to make use of it, a maintainer must install the tool and
enable it. From dpkg-mergechangelogs(1):
INTEGRATION WITH GIT
If you want to use this program to merge Debian changelog files in a git repository, you have first to register a new merge driver in .git/config or ~/.gitconfig:
[merge "dpkg-mergechangelogs"] name = debian/changelog merge driver driver = dpkg-mergechangelogs -m %O %A %B %A
