This is a follow-up to bug <A HREF="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24278">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24278</A>.
<PRE>
It's important that the generated ChangeLog file has no easy way of being
removed as it cannot be regenerated from within a tarball as git is not
available. Just like files README or NEWS.
For example,
EXTRA_DIST += ChangeLog
or
CLEANFILES = ChangeLog
or
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog
There are over 200 components in that situation.
