Yes, because CVS sucks.  You want to have the ChangeLog entry committed 
along with the other changes, but CVS doesn't make that easy and you end 
up double-committing.

I finally gave up and just started using prepare-ChangeLog.pl.  If someone 
could fix that script to take directory arguments to look for changes, it 
would be a huge feature as running it from the top of xc takes way too 
long.
