5 Just ditch the Changelogs and be done with it. The only objection I
6 know is that changelogs act as a NEWS file. Well, it is not a good
7 enough reason in my humble opionion. Find another way to present NEWS

13 Git usually is faster - except the initial clone. Basically, rsync
14 protocol scales with the project size not with change size.

16 And lastly, while I don't really care either way, I think at least some
17 of the push back is the result of unfamiliarity with git. And my
18 impression is that unless a dev with enough political capital spearheads
19 the move, this issue will continue to come up for a long time yet.
