+    <p>
+      When doing changes (commits) to sane-backends or sane-frontends, make sure
+      you remember to include an entry in the ChangeLog file. The format is
+      simple, with the date the change was committed to CVS, the name and email
+      address of the one doing the commit, the list of files changed (ignoring
+      ChangeLog itself), and a description of the change. Example:
+    </p>
+
+<pre>
+2000-03-06  Petter Reinholdtsen 
+	* configure.in configure: New version is 1.0.2.
+</pre>
+
+    <p>
+      You can use the same descriptions in the ChangeLog and the commit
+      messages. The ChangeLog file is used in addition to the commit messages
+      because it's available even when there is no access to the CVS server.  If
+      you intend to change more than one file in CVS, it's ok to add all the
+      entries to the ChangeLog only once per day.
+    </p>
