Sure, but other projects do it differently.
On every checkin, an eMail is generated and an entry appended

(neglected by the other BSDs) update to GNU cvs 1.12, I can
even add changeset-like facilities.)

Sure, it's a change. I was just trying to hint people
that it might be worthwhile to think about it, and a
bit curious myself what the GNU developers say about
that.
