Various posts here have been tangentially involved with ChangeLogs. 
Emacs has a ChangeLog mode.  The free/open source communities seem to
make great use of these things.

What are they?  Is there some URL or other source of information that
someone can point me to on what a ChangeLog is, best practices on what
it should look like, best practices on when it's edited, what it's used
for, etc.?

I feel like I'm missing something fairly important at a high level when
I ask: what does a ChangeLog give you that $Log$ messages do not?

We now return you to your regularly scheduled cvs discussion.

Cheers,
Laird
