The `HACKING' changes looks good overall, thank you! The "complete description in the commit message" should rather be "complete ChangeLog-style description in the commit message (see the GNU Coding Standards for details)". The sentence "Post your patch to guile-devel@gnu.org" lacks a period.

How about just renaming them to `ChangeLog-2008' for now, and add a top-level `ChangeLog' that reads something like "Please refer to git.sv.gnu.org blah blah blah"? Thanks, Ludo'.
