It's already been said it, I think. 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.
