So far, noone seem to have mentioned the automatic changelog facility.
It it possible to have a file with a special tag (created by changelog
subcommand), that gets information from commit log prepended on each
commit. Thus you can have:
1) The information available within the tree even if you strip the
{arch} directory.
2) Get the information in configure script (arch logs are easier to
parse, however) and put it wherever you want.
