My problem with the current situation is that the compress Git object 
for the main ChangeLog file is now around 800K.  I have currently 37 
such compressed objects in my git tree which cannot be packed, and 
that's quite inconvenient when rsync'ing things around.

Rotating the ChangeLog would be a very low-tech solution to mitigate 
this issue.

Thanks,
