Hi team, we have a "ChangeLog" file in the root folder that is apparently (?) updated whenever someone makes a commit. I don't see a need for it, and none of the other Apache projects I'm aware of bothers with such a file -- it's annoying needing to update it and it just seems to be unnecessary overhead. Can we get rid of it?

So long as you make comments when you commit, here is a 100.0% authoritative and chronological list of all commits made and what they involve:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-jspwiki-commits/201301.mbox/browser

And of course the SVN repository details the changes made to each specific file fully and accurately:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/jspwiki/trunk/src/webdocs/Error.jsp?view=log

Finally, JIRA nicely provides us a list of commits per release:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Achangelog-panel

That should be good enough for us.  WDYT?

Regards,
Glen
