The advantage of Changelogs is that you can write them at the time the
change is made, not at the time of commit. In addition Changelogs
contain the function/variable affected by the change and there is
support from Emacs to add them automatically.
Is there a way to have the same for CVS logs? What do typically do
when using CVS to document changes? use free format?
Is the resolution on the time stamps that important?
