agreed, however short of somehow adding tags to the log messages, I
can't see a sane way to do that, In theory something could be done
with bayesian filtering to try and determine which commits are
low-level things and therefore can be ignored. However I suspect
ultimately any attempt to automate this will still involve judicious
use of 'dd', so I can't see that being worth the effort involved.

Still, an unfiltered list could be a useful place to start from, at
least using the log messages from CVS means that the description of
changes is no worse than that given by the committer.
