It should present the user a good overview about new features, which existing 
things important to him have been changed or bugfixed. That is a kind of 
"service" and thus implies to take some time. Whether it is more or less than 
it should be depends on how userfriendly someone is, and how many detail users 
and distributors want.

Sounds reasonable. Especially since the revisions are mentioned in the tickets 
and also of no importance to the average user. Further they are different for 
trunk and branches and thus backports will create a mess.

In that case we need to move the current ChangeLog to NEWS (GNU style).
Replacing current ChangeLog with an svn2cl generated ChangeLog is definitely 
not an option to me. The changelog shall be user readable, and also only 
contain things interesting to the user. It shall be grouped by topics and 
arranged by importance and significance. That is not possible for a machine to 
do.
