11 What would be the problem with renaming? IMHO it would be nicer to
12 keep the ChangeLog name for the autogenerated files and rename the
13 ones from CVS. We already have files renamed to ChangeLog-<year> when
14 they became to large, so we could just use ChangeLog-2015 to stay
15 within that scheme.
