I don't understand why we want to versioning this diff file.

ChangeLog is recreated from the commit history with spelling mistakes. Those mistakes are fixed by the diff.
The diff saves me from having manually make the same spelling (and other) corrections to the recreated ChangeLog. Over time this will of course grow as new changes and spelling mistakes are made.
And if I kept this private, then others would not benefit from the corrections.
Ideally one would go back into git and fix the commit messages. But that is not easy since the SHA is based on the commit message and time I think.
Would not be enough to pick the ChangeLog since the last release and keep CHANGES.rst clean of typos? |
The ChangeLog goes into the distribution. It provide a slightly more detailed and slightly cleaned up version of the actual commit changes. |
Go over release notes. Add a way to correct spelling mistakes in ChangeLog produced (which is used to create CHANGES.rst)
