You're right; they are included. I suppose I can live with having
to keep 275 MB of source on line just to have a copy of them handy.

However, you forgot to answer another point that's critical to use
of the change logs. In the message you responded to, I said:

: Oh, and just to make it harder you've put in log messages that fix
: something and reference a completely unrelated PR. (Or does PR #42
: have some relation to find(1) that I just don't understand?)

So what's up with these sorts of commit messages?
