+
+That's not a changelog, that's a commit log of every source-level commit
+made. Far too much detail for a changelog of *user-visible* changes
+associated with a release.

+
+I still disagree that a timestamp is the right thing to use there. If
+you want a monotonically-increasing indicator of which revision we're up
+to, that's immediately available with the revision number from VCS on
+the main branch. That also has the advantage of producing consecutive
+numbers for each revision, by definition.

+
+I agree that's a problem. I think the solution is to start making
+releases, with specific version strings, as source tarballs.

+
+Even better: ‘bzr export /tmp/foo.tar.gz’ will create a source tarball
+of all the files in the branch's VCS inventory. All we need to do is
+start the practice of tagging a release in the VCS, and export the
+tarball at that time.
