4.4.5 ChangeLogs Prologue

ChangeLog prologues are small pieces of informative text that Patcher adds above each ChangeLog insertion in the mail buffer.

When the ChangeLogs appearance is verbatim, Patcher inserts one prologue per ChangeLog file. The prologue's contents is controlled by the :change-logs-prologue project option (a string). A ‘%f’ appearing in this string will be replaced with the ChangeLog filename. The default value for patcher-default-change-logs-prologue is "%f addition:".

When the ChangeLogs appearance is pack, Patcher inserts only one prologue for the whole ChangeLogs patch. When patch, there is a single prologue for both the ChangeLogs and the sources. For customizing the prologue in both of these cases, see Diff Prologue.
