Why? That's just stupid.
If you want to have a ChangeLog file, it's _much_ better to just
auto-generate it after the fact. When you cut a tar-file, just have the
script autogenerate the changelog then and there. Why do it inside the
SCM that keeps track of the data _anyway_.

Right - but it's easy enough to add it to the tar-ball, so..
