But what actual problem does it present? Many patches have doc and
testsuite changes, and it would be helpful to see them all at once as
part of a change entry. (In fact, CodeSourcery has been doing exactly
this for its local changes.)
Ironically, the testsuite originally had a separate ChangeLog because
testsuites were packaged and distributed separately for some time. I
don't know why doc got its own ChangeLog, the 1991-era Cygnus might have
been considering a multi-tool doc-package scheme of some sort.
