Well, yes, the changelogs are generated by BitKeeper, but what gets fed
into bitkeeper is controlled by some scripts I wrote, which are the ones
that take the email and munge it into a readable format etc. So by the
time the thing hits my BK repository, the email headers will all have been
thrown away, except for "From: " and "Subject: ". So BK never sees the
full email.
(Even my scripts don't see the full email a large percentage of the time:
I end up prettifying the emails for actual application by first removing
things like "Hi Linus, please apply this" etc which are pointless in the
changelog).
