How about including the changelog until the branch point?
I remember there used to be ChangeLog files on CVS but that sounds a bit
redundant. But I am thinking in generating them for the tarball only,
just like we provide the HTML docs or the bison output.

I think we should *also* do this.
FWIW I use
cvs2cl --revisions --no-indent --no-wrap --separate-header --follow $branch \
--no-ancestors --accum
and it generates a 90k file when branch=REL8_2_STABLE (it only includes
the changes after REL8_2_STABLE was first tagged).
