The one single reason why I'm very happy about our ChangeLog file policy
is that I can grep it easily. Listing the changelog of the whole tree via
svn (or anything else) up to some years ago is very slow and generates
quite some load on the server. Sure there are various work-arounds for
that, but I'm happy to not have to resolve to such work-arounds.
Ciao,
Michael.
