Part of the point of ChangeLogs is that they are supposed to be usable
without the VCS, so IMO these references to revisions should never have
been there, and should just be replaced with the appropriate date.

Eg as it stands:

   * register.el (insert-register): Fix revno:114543.

is meaningless for a ChangeLog. "Fix 2013-10-07 change" seems fine to
me; I doubt anything more is needed. (I assume the VCS log will still
contain the specific commit reference.)
