Instead of choosing one version over the other, cvs has added both versions to
the ChangeLog file, and surrounded them with special separators to clearly mark
the conflict in question. Now, it's up to me to replace this region with the
text that should appear in ChangeLog; in this case, the replacement text
is neither one or the other version but a combination of both:
date 25 Feb 2001
This is the thing I added myself
This is the part added by another developer
Now that I've replaced the conflicting region of the file with the appropriate text
(and removed the "=======", etc markers), I can now commit my changes to cvs without
any problems.
