That was what I had in mind when I wrote point 3 on my list of criteria for not requiring ChangeLog format <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-standards/2017-07/msg00000.html> - commits for logical changes, not huge commits like "Bash-4.4 distribution sources and documentation" <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?id=a0c0a00fc419b7bc08202a79134fcd5bc0427071>, clearly being needed to be able to use the version control history for exploring past changes. (bash has a symlink ChangeLog -> CWRU/changelog, where the latter has ChangeLog-like descriptions of changes to named entities, but not in ChangeLog format and only for changes since the previous release.) -- Joseph S.
