so use CHANGELOG only as 'End-User-Changelog'?


so something like:

2007-02-09 Michal Čihař  <michal at cihar.com>
     * lang/czech: Fix syntax error (sorry for that).

will not appear there ... ?

in this case cause it was introduced and fixed between releases

in brackets the user who commited?


if we have a detailed changelog (generated by subversion) there is no need 
for names, too
