Here's a tip: never, ever, run `cvs update' with a modified
ChangeLog. Instead, revert your change in the ChangeLog file, update
it, then install your change again and commit. Then, you'll get the
lock before having to transfer the whole ChangeLog file upstream.
That said, having the ChangeLog rotated would significantly speed up
the actual commits, so I'm all in favor of such a move.
