    Because log diffs are full of noise — by nature. They could not make a 
suitable
    change log even in a hypothetical project run by perfect humans who never 
make
    typos, never forget to commit new files, never miss any part of a 
refactoring.
    The purpose of a commit is to document one atomic step in the process by 
which
    the code evolves from one state to another. The purpose of a change log is 
to
    document the noteworthy differences between these states.


We use Trac for ticketing and modified the ticket to include a custom field called, wait for it ... "Release note" ... which is filled in when the ticket is written. It contains the exact words the ticket writers want used when release notes are compiled.
