The ChangeLog-vs-commitlog business slowed me down within my first
couple of commits to the git repository for Emacs. It's only a minor
annoyance, but it is an annoyance. As I recall there was consensus to
wait for a bit after the transition and then change our ChangeLog
practice so that the ChangeLog is derived automatically from the git
commit log. Other GNU projects do that (coreutils, for example) and
Emacs could surely do the same.
