[snip (a repeat of this for earlier revisions)]
|
|
|
|
I've pointed out before that with automated submissions, authors may
|
|
send in new revisions weekly (or in the extreme even daily). Thus I
|
|
don't think a revision history in the above format should be used. It
|
|
adds too much bloat to the document. Also, cannot one check the CVS
|
|
system if they are really interested in the revision history?
|
|
|
|
I would leave it up to each author to keep whatever revision history
|
|
they want to and in whatever way they want to. I do it in a long
|
|
comment that can be read only in the .sgml version and also sometimes
|
|
mention what's new in each new version. Of course a major revision
|
|
should have some mention in the body of the document. It could list
|
|
all the changes, or if the author is pressed for time could just say
|
|
that it's a "major revision". Thus I'm in favor of flexibility
|
|
instead of the above format.
