[hibernate-dev] Changelog file in Hibernate ORM

[Steve Ebersole]

Depends what you mean "sync it in master".  Its not like you should be 
cherry-picking changelog changes from other branches to master.

But, you should be collecting the changes from Jira putting them into 
the changelog on the indicated branch(es).  Currently, that means 
anything marked jpa21 should get copied into the master changelog.  
Sames was true for 4.2 before 4.2 was branched off, and 4.1 before that 
and so on.  Granted it is more difficult in an environment like we have 
where we maintain multiple branches simultaneously.  But this highlights 
the importance of marking versions correctly in Jira.
