ChangeLogs are easier to access and search, and they have better information (mistakes can be corrected). I rarely refer to the commit log, other than the one-liners of "bzr log --line" to quickly locate a recent commit, and these are less than helpful because many people does not really adds a summary. So count this as a strong +1 for keeping ChangeLogs. J
