Eh..... being BSD we aren't required to maintain strict Changelog's so
it's not really a sorry, but I still think that CVS handles this problem
fine.Whenever you commit your adding a description of what you changed.  The
CVS web interface reflects this on a per-file basis, including annoted
code of that change.  It's entirely supperior to a standard Changelog. 
This assumes that you actually do make useful comments about what you
change.  Obviously commits with a description of "a commit" isn't
helpful....... and the only times we see commits with lame descriptions is
when they are fixes to previous well explained commits.
