I've always wondered, in the days of atomic commits and advanced SCM, why fill changelogs at all ? Except for CVS, RCS or SCCS, any SCM already stores the log of changes. Keeping a Changelog in the SCM is both a duplication of information and a stick to beat yourself when you cherry-pick or revert changes, or merge branches.
