CHANGELOG is a duplicate of the u-boot project's git log: remove it.
No. Please re-read the archive why this file is kept.
It is assumed that this file's only purpose is to serve non-git users downloading u-boot project source in the form of a tarball release. If that is the case, then the generation of the CHANGELOG file should occur at tarball release generation time, and not consume duplicate history, slowing things down and polluting grep match results for u-boot developers using git.
Slowing things down? C'me on.
Polluting grep results? Then exclude this file from grepping...
u-boot project git history goes back to before u-boot 0.1.0, so remove CHANGELOG-before-U-Boot-1.1.5 file too.
NAK. My position about these files has not changed.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
