No, with a ChangeLog, changes are always appended at the beginning (or at the 
end), so two persons adding entries will invariably lead to automatic merge 
problems. 
However, properties are alphabetically sorted, so the longer the list, the 
smaller the chance that the two committers are working on the same three lines 
that are relevant to the two patches. 
If the patches don't overlap, the automatic merge of git rebase or git merge 
will take care of the merge, and you won't see any problems.

Cheers,
Reinhold
