    > How about putting that history into the ChangeLog files?

    Argh! You specifically requested this history be taken out
    ("simplifying" or "crunching" the ChangeLogs) before the merge could
    be done!

I did not realize we were talking about that information.  Oops!

Why is the information about early changes in multi-tty so important?
Did they put explanations of reasons and problems into the change log?
We normally put that information into comments in the code, which is
the best place for it; as a consequence, crunching the old change log
history doesn't lose those explanations.
