status.xml should contain some higher-level information that help users to understand what has changed in Cocoon, and one feature change may be the result of many commits. A giant list of commit logs makes the important information difficult to find.
one more reason to strive for atomic commits that contain all related changes in one commit, and refer the bugzilla entry in the commit message. having a link to the diff for each commit has also proved to be quite useful if you want to find a change months later.
that said, it is still a lot of data..
svn logs also have the problem that they're not modifiable. Bad for typos, but worse for changes that have been reverted afterwards.
that is true.
