I think Yetus project has a tool to generate release notes from git log itself. I feel adding one entry for every commit in CHANGES.txt this is unnecessary step. In recent days we stopped tracking commit details in CHANGES.txt in Hadoop project as well, thinking this is unnecessary and Yetus can generate.
May be until we integrate such tools, we can track CHANGES.txt as temporary solution? This would basically useful for generating Release notes.

I'm attaching one sample file with this mail. This can be used and fill the change log details while committing next change in the project. Location of this file: master/CHANGES.txt Thanks, Rakesh
