    This is sometimes hard to do, especially when the original sequence
    of log entries is long.  This is because the original log frequently
    mentions multiple changes to the same function; merging them all into
    a single entry for each function is time-consuming and might actually
    lose information (e.g., when changes are backed up).

I find this makes it easier to grasp the changes overall.
It is worth doing.
