Actually I was thinking of simply no longer maintaining a Changelog
file. It made sense in the days of CVS to store changeset information,
but now with git the same information and more can be retrieved
trivially with git-log, and the linear log format won't work so well
once we start having multiple branches.
Objections? Does anybody feel a strong need for a Changelog file?
