If the choice is a generated ChangeLog or using 'foreign' then a third
choice would be to use ChangeLog as a small pointer describing how to
get the change log information from version control. I do that on
some work projects that have not previously kept a ChangeLog. If a
ChangeLog file exists then the check is satisfied.
