lisp/ChangeLog too big?

lisp/ChangeLog too big?

[Nick Roberts]

It takes a long time for me to commit the ChangeLog in the lisp directory. I
presume this is related to its size which is now bigger than any of the 
earlier ChangeLogs and the lisp files. Is it time to split it?

IMHO, at 950KB, it's definitely time to split it.

I agree that the size indicates it is time to split, but if you look
closer, lisp/ChangeLog only contains entries for changes since 21.1,
so IMHO it is problematic to split it before the next release from CVS
head.

.. which implies that it's about time to have a new release from head!!

I guess we had better split it, even though that will be inconvenient.
How about splitting it after this entry, and moving the rest to
ChangeLog.10?
