6 CVS and SVN have global order, hence their ability to create changelogs
7 that are always growing in a single direction. Git has no global order
8 when merges are involved. If I merge in a commit made months ago, where
9 is the correct place for it in the generated changelog? When the
10 generated changelog is generated from scratch, where does it go? Does it
11 stay in the same place after more merges?
