+GNOME Terminal doesn't use ChangeLog anymore. Instead, we use SVN checkin comments
+to autogenerate a ChangeLog file at "make dist" time. Use "make ChangeLog" in the
+toplevel directory to manually create a ChangeLog. Or use
+http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-terminal/?view=queryform
+to look up the version history.
+
+When committing a patch to svn, use a checkin comment that describes the changes
+made. If the checkin is related to a bug, reference the bug number. Example:
+
+        When removing a toolbar, make its items available again in the toolbar
+        editor. (Bug #131182)
+
+Checkin comments MUST use the UTF-8 encoding.
+
+Do NOT commit to this module without permission from a maintainer.
+See the MAINTAINERS file for who they are.
