ChangeLog entries and commit messages serve a different purpose.
ChangeLog entries describe the "physical" changes, a commit message the
"logical" change.  That is, the commit message describes the changeset
on a higher level than the ChangeLog entries.  As such it does not make
sense to repeat the ChangeLog entries in the commit message.
