Description Jeff Johnston CLA 2011-12-15 13:32:47 EST 
Editing a hello world C program and removing some other files in the project, then building causes a prepare ChangeLog action to create a ChangeLog with two entries with one being just the modified file and the other containing all the new and removed files.
Comment 1 Jeff Johnston CLA 2012-02-08 19:10:06 EST 
It turns out the error occurs when the ChangeLog is empty to start with and there are modifications in addition to either removals or additions.  The modifications occur first and create a new entry.  An internal flag to force new entries isn't cleared and the 2nd and up entries end up in a new entry.

A fix has been checked into both master and stable-0.9 and a new test case has been added to the ChangeLog tests for both branches.
