I do the same, but if you think about it, this intermediate step of
putting things in a new file with a funny name (and which you then need
to tell your VCS to ignore) is rather quaint.

It only seems "natural" if you've used ChangeLog files before.

We need a similarly convenient solution for the post-ChangeLog world.
