It is not what you want when you want to be able to reproduce from the 
version control system the files that went into a particular release or 
snapshot, complete with the typos present in the log messages that went 
into that release's or snapshot's ChangeLogs.  It is also not what you 
want to give free access to everyone to correct typos in log messages, 
when you want mistakes in so doing to be readily revertable.

We do not however need to do anything different with ChangeLogs to change 
the version control system.
