Something else that hasn't been raised is that ChangeLogs can be revised. We often see people making mistakes with their ChangeLog entries, but since the ChangeLog is versioned, they can revise it. If you screw up a commit message, it's much harder to fix it (and a purist might argue that to do so would be destroying revision history).
What we do with Ada is to allow *additions* to an existing revision history entry, but not modifications of what is already there.
