Plus it's faster. One possibility might be to run the equivalent of "git log >ChangeLog" automatically, as part of every checkin. I do this (by hand) in my copies of coreutils etc., simply because 'grep' is so much faster than 'git log' (much less Emacs's interface to 'git log' -- whew! what a pig!). Not volunteering for this task though....
