Ah! What you are suggesting seems a nice idea to me but it's something 
new, isn't it?

I mean: last time branch and trunk were out of sync and Benjamin 
resynced them, he did also insert the Changelog entries in positions 
corresponding to ordered dates thus leading to final identical Changelogs.

But, again, I like your proposal and, if we all agree, will happily 
proceed this way.

Benjamin?

Ciao, Paolo.
