If we were using the commit log to put ChangeLog entries, the
ChangeLog could be reconstructed as part of making the release tarball
by a simple
bzr log --gnu-changelog -r ...

That breaks the idea that commits should try to respect the ACID
(atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) principle.

Personally, I find this idea ugly.
