Minor changes to Change_control package

Description

The Common.Change_control package contains a number of
minor problems or inconsistencies, as follows:

  • the attribute 'node' in the class AUDIT_DETAILS is poorly named

  • the 'description' attribute the CONTRIBUTION class should be in
    the AUDIT_DETAILS class, since any kind of audit record might
    include a description. For example, BitKeeper has description
    for both change-set and for every file changed in a change set.

  • rather than inheriting from AUDIT_DETAILS, the CONTRIBUTION
    class should have an association relation with it, because
    CONTRIBUTIONS are not as such, audit objects.

  • it would be simpler if the 'change_type' attribute of the class
    VERSION_AUDIT were moved to AUDIT_DETAILS, since this attribute
    could be used for audits pertaining to CONTRIBUTIONs as well.

  • following the above changes, the class VERSION_AUDIT can be
    removed, and the class AUDIT_DETAILS made concrete.
