Yes, I like this. I would not read the details, and cvsweb gives those
details to people who want them.

I'll have to look at this.

My two cents to the discussion that went on around 26 Dec, before I was
subscribed:
IMO there should be a ChangeLog which would document every change. This
is invaluable for those (developer-kind-of-guys) that want a quick look
what has changed e.g. since 3 weeks ago. CVSWeb is good only for checking
progress on a several files.
This is not to say there shouldn't be "manual", summary-like CHANGES file.
It'd only be updated more infrequently (from the practical point of view).
