said, it is worth to have changelog up to date. And you can see it
offline. At the least it is the good habit.

It depends, there are times where I just want to know roughly what
changed, mostly to see if there is a nice new feature making it worth
to upgrade.
Other times I have a gripe, open bug, which would not a make it into
the summary kind of information above, then I'd need the detailed info.
This can come out of the git commit log.
For the CPAN tool I maintain in git I've written a small utility to extract
the change log from git and I ship this as changes file. (attached)

I guess the command `git log' is enough.

In my development of any software I don't have any changelog file in
the repo, but I'm generating it for every release. Having changelog in
the repo is the nonsense; you can see the log with git commands.
