I suggest keeping it until there is a consensus on all GNU projects. It does help with grepping things sometimes. Note, a tool I use to maintain the ChangeLog is: - https://github.com/simark/gnu-changelog-tools The idea with this tool is that you maintain your changelog entry in your git commit messages until you are about to commit. When you want to push your changes up to git just run a rebase...: $ EDITOR=/bin/true git rebase master -i --exec changelog-git-amend.py And it will put the right date and copy the changelog from the git commit message to the ChangeLog file at needed. Uoh, that does _exactly_ what I do manually all the times :D Thanks for the link!
