Apache also has some weird stuff about needing to clearly mark modifications to the code that frankly feels a little unneeded.

I wonder if a revision control system like Git obviates this problem, so long as you make clean patch merges.

I think that is the assumption. I’ve never encountered a change list of files on Github.

I still find it to be an odd requirement. I guess the intention is to keep people from misrepresenting your original code.
