Here is my version:

ChangeLog entries that have an empty line between them are independent of
each other.  (I admit that one could argue whether regenerating a
compiled file is independent of changing its source file or not, but in
my book it is.)  Now, you change such a source file --- configure.ac ---
and commit that change.

#v+
[Date.]  [Who.]  [Where.]

        * configure.ac: Foo.
#v-

Afterwards you regenerate the compiled file --- configure --- and commit
that change.  Then the ChangeLog looks like this:

#v+
[Date.]  [Who.]  [Where.]

        * configure: Regenerate.

        * configure.ac: Foo.
#v-

Of course, committing the whole lot directly as...

#v+
[Date.]  [Who.]  [Where.]

        * configure.ac: Foo.
        * configure: Regenerate.
#v-

... wouldn't be wrong either, but as I said, I don't know if the files's
time stamps will be alright then.

``6.8.1 Change Log Concepts

You can think of the change log as a conceptual ???undo list??? which
explains how earlier versions were different from the current version.

[...]

6.8.2 Style of Change Logs

[...]

Separate unrelated change log entries with blank lines. When two entries
represent parts of the same change, so that they work together, then
don't put blank lines between them.''
