What I don't like about this method is the duplication of information
for every file. Assume you needed to change more than one file to
achive a given end, then you would enter the same text multiple times
into your ChangeLog if I recall the workings of ChangeLog mode
correctly. I found it errorprone to mention all the files I changed.
I found it much easier to check in multiple files with the same
message and then generate a ChangeLog. This way the informaition is
IMHO much more consistent. There is a nice Perl-script around called
cvs2cl.pl which does a great job. It's available at
http://www.red-bean.com/~kfogel.

Indeed, I would support this process.
