CEDET also generates Changelogs, and just recently I spent several hours
on a nice Sunday evening editing them, so I share your pain. And yet,
I'm all for it. My hope is that this is the first step in getting rid of
the Changelog format altogether, and switching to commit messages that
value content over form.
