Thatʼs a shame. Editing the file once itʼs generated is something I
have to remember to do at some unspecified point in the future,
whereas modifying an amendments file is something I can do right now.

I donʼt see how maintaining the file would be a pain in any case:
nobody is forced to use it, and it only applies to new commits since
the last time the ChangeLog.N file was generated.
