Well, I actually have a few projects (mostly science-related) that use
ChangeLogs for elaborate descriptions of changes, and short phrases to give
the idea into cvs.
If you look for some special version to check out, the short phrases are
enough. If you would like to search for changes that introduced bugs (or the
other way around), you might end up looking through ChangeLogs for quite a
while.
But then you don´t need net-access to get an ChangeLog, while you do need it
for a full cvs-log (even if you keep the heads in the source).

That's for sure a good way to go, I'd agree.
My personal preference, as stated above, is to make the ChangeLog the primer
source of information.
