Good point. I've been wondering about a change to our policy about
ChangeLog diffs for a while. With git and git-merge-changelog it is
actually *less* work for a maintainer to apply a patch if the diff
includes the ChangeLog. You just save the email to a temporary empty
mailbox somewhere, then "git am <mailbox>" plus perhaps a little
editing of the commit message and adding generated files.
