I have found this to be a nice way to doing ChangeLog's on a branch:
2001-06-11 Alan Modra <amodra@bigpond.net.au>
Merge from mainline.
2001-03-23 Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com>
* README-maintainer-mode: Add note about inability to use "make
distclean" in maintainer mode.
can we agree to us this style -- it being the main "by line" is the date
the change is committed, but the "what changed" also includes the
original by-line of the mainline (thus makes it easier to track back to
mainline, and also gives credit to the original author of the change).
