    Can we then proceed with the unicode-2 branch merging then?

Sorry, I don't follow.  I think there is a misunderstanding here.

     Splitting
    the ChangeLog per file was what was blocking the merge.

I think that is the misunderstanding.  What I asked for was not
to "split" the ChangeLog file.  It was to simplify it,
getting rid of unnecessary duplicate entries.  For instance,
if we have

	(foobar): Change xyz.

and on a previous date

        (foobar): New function.

then we only need the latter.  If foobar is a new function, being
installed now, then we only need the "new function" entry.
