6 About this slightly hybrid approach:
7
8 - the ChangeLog file is retained, some script just appends from VCS log
9 to it
10 * where is the ChangeLog file stored?
11 * is the VCS log appended to the ChangeLog every time it is generated,
12 or is it "committed" to the file?
13 - in case of a committed update to the ChangeLog file (commit hook?
14 repoman?), people would have the ability to edit the ChangeLog
