Note that lilypond/ChangeLog contains only closing notifications. What about
additions and modifications? The purpose of ChangeLog file is written into its
name: you can easily and collectively check what has been changed in the
repository. 

One may easily figure out that if there is only one person making changes to the
repository, making reports is not so important (if the person can memorize
everything). But if you give writing permission to other people, you may
yourself be interested on the changes other people are making in the repository.

Therefore, why not to have just a very simple lily-bugs/ChangeLog:

2004-06-06  Mister X  <address@hidden>

        * newbug.ly, newbug.png: add.

        * stillbug.ly: modify.

        * oldbug.ly: remove. (moved to closed)

If there is ChangeLog file, (other) people dare make changes more spontaneously
-- when being part of a developing group. Then the meister of the repository is
also easily informed. (Note that all the people who have writing permission to
lilypond/ directory have it also to lily-bugs/ directory.)

I cannot figure out a CVS command which would collect the modification history
of a CVS repository. Is there one?
