CVS and SVN have global order, hence their ability to create changelogs |

that are always growing in a single direction. Git has no global order |

when merges are involved. If I merge in a commit made months ago, where |

is the correct place for it in the generated changelog? When the |

generated changelog is generated from scratch, where does it go? Does it |

stay in the same place after more merges? |
