There is. Changelogs are useful to follow the changes in a source. If you do not put this into VCS, developers have to run VCS diff and (r)log commands to know, what has been changed. I'm a big fan of file changelogs. Creating/updating it first is not very comfortable for developers. I further think, that many projects use the changelog entry as commit message, which is IMO different to the OPs opinion, that changelogs are the duplicate of the svn/cvs logs. The commit message is more a duplicate of the changelog entry. Of course, just my humble opinion. Regards, Daniel
