I read this and still am on the opposite side.

The "changelog entries are like an undo list" is a WTF, to me this is what
`patch -R` is for...

My take on that (the newbie wanting to grasp it) is that I do the following:
- read git changelog entries titles in gitk (or a ML, or a gitweb)
- if oneliner title looks interesting for a subject I'm currently
trying to learn
- I read the full changelog entry
- if that is still interesting me, then I go read the code

Is there something equivalent with the GNU-styled CLs, that does not require
me to read every patch ? Because that's not scaling very well, especially in
languages that I'm not proficient in.

My example is LKML, the changelogs are an extremely valuable tool to understand
things, to debug, etc... I just love this level of details put into changelogs.

Tastes & colors...
