The term "ChangeLog" -- note the specific capitalization -- as
generally used, has a fairly specific meaning: it only refers to
Emacs-style ChangeLog files, not to the concept of a change log in
general. In my experience in the free-software world, even the
specific Emacs capitalization is not necessary: any place the term
"changelog" occurs as one word, it tends to refer to an Emacs-style
ChangeLog file.
The manual text you quote refers to "log", not "ChangeLog", when it's
talking about CVS-style logs.

No, I've read the info file now, and it seems pretty explicit and
clear about the distinction between the two types of logs.
