(Genuine question, not an attempt to be difficult:)

If I make a change, then very soon after (within a few hours,
definitely the same day) realize I need to revert it, I tend to delete
the ChangeLog entry rather than have two. This is because I don't see
the point in cluttering up the ChangeLog with things that only existed
for a few hours.

Would you prefer two entries in this case? That's fine by me, just
want to clarify the policy...
