Reasons:
* Much more detailed and inherently correct information can be gotten from
git log -- libguile/
git log -- test-suite/
etc.
* The ChangeLog duplicates the git log information if done correctly. Hence
it requires double work for the committer.
* Since updates to the ChangeLog always happen at the top, they virtually
always conflict on pulls and cherry-picks. This makes it impossible to
use the power of git. For example, rebase is the standard git approach
to creating linear history of changes. This is apparently something
the GUILE devs think is important, but the changes to ChangeLog ensure
that every cherry pick will need manual conflict resolution.
