The kernel changelog gets long fairly quickly. We have almost daily

of history. I was looking for a better way. I propose that we trim the
kernel changelog to the branch date for each release in rawhide, and put
everything we cut into a "changelog.history" file. This would make the spec
contain a changelog for an entire release cycle and nothing more, while the
history is still there for anyone who needs it. We also have the git
commit logs, but they are not always as detailed as the changelog.
However, git will have the patch history of removing all those lines.
If you mark these trimming commits in a consistent way, folks can even
do something like: git log -p --grep=log-trim
