Indeed we should (where possible), because it creates merge conflicts
when the branch is merged back into master.

I understand that.  So either you temporarily override the check
(deciding that it's worthwhile to cause conflicts further down), or you
find a new way that avoids the conflicts (e.g. putting the ChangeLog
entries in a different file from the one used in master).
