And this points the developer to the libvirt.git, which is already
linked in README-hacking
I didn't consider the mention in README-hacking, though I'd say this
is slightly different because 1) it also points to the Web-browsable
version of the git log and 2) people looking for the ChangeLog will
probably not go poking at README-hacking of all places.
I'd rather drop the ChangeLog file completely
I personally don't have a problem with the idea, but I seem to recall
a ChangeLog being required by the GNU coding standard, which we are
at least formally following; I expect moving away from it to be an at
least somewhat controversial change...
So perhaps we could get rid of the 12+ MiB of garbage right now, and
then suggest dropping these remaining dozen lines as a follow up? :)
