Currently, we roll them over to keep the file > below 1MB. I haven't yet looked at what Emacs has implemented now… but you may want to take a look at Org. The ChangeLog there is generated for only the segment of commits between releases to Emacs. If we come up with a reliable method to (auto-)mark the latest commit that has been picked up for the ChangeLog, then it becomes trivial to a) do the rollover, either manually or automatically; and b) edit entries in the ChangeLog for style or substance that have fallen behind that barrier since the auto-generation from commit messages will not touch them.
