Theoretically, ChangeLog is for "physical" changes, and the commit log is for "logical" changes, as Andreas pointed out. But that is difficult to enforce; so in order to understand a given change, you already have to look at both (and, sometimes, you *need* both to understand what's happened). It's better IMO to put all relevant info together, even if that means duplicating it. And that will ease the switch to a ChangeLog-less future, if and when we someday decide that it is not really useful to maintain the ChangeLogs anymore. Juanma
