09:20:17 stephenfin though you also occasionally need to go in and create a static summary changelog (or whatever you want to call them), whereby you instruct reno not to scan past commit N and simply generate a static listing

09:29:08 kashyap I worry about the "occasionally don't forget to generate static summary" from dead branches -- it's easy to forget. /me thinks if there's a way to automate it (even if it's just an email reminder)
