Its definitely a duplication of information.  I wonder how this is  
typically handled these days, where most projects use some form of  
version control.  It seems like the whole ChangeLog paradigm is a bit  
outdated.  We could just scrap the ChangeLog altogether and just use  
svn.  I get confused by the svn log command though, since it sometimes  
doesn't show the most recent log entries and has other strange  
behavior which I have never understood.

I'm definitely not attached to the ChangeLog file though.  Any other opinions?
