6 Either wait for somebody to provide the old-style changelogs (some
7 consider this critical, some consider this pointless - I'll admit I
8 tend to fall in the latter), or just sync from git and run git
9 log/whatchanged <path> or even tig <path>. That really gets you the
10 same info and more, and lets you filter by path, file, and so on.
11 Also, if a commit touched many packages at once it will show up in the
12 log for each of the packages, but looking at it will also show you all
13 the other related changes. It really is a much more data-rich view.

15 While I do believe the ChangeLogs will show up again for those who
16 prefer them, I think that taking a bit of time to learn to use git is
17 going to make your life better in the long haul. I think that in time
18 people will stop using ChageLogs.
