IMO, this log is simple but meaningless.  Everyone knows most of the
changes made to ja_JP.EUC/handbook/* are to sync with the English
version. :-)

Imagine how it would be if you do cvs log afterwards, every change
will have same log message which gives you really no information if
you want to find out about certain change in the file.  Of course you
can look at the diff, the file itself, whatever, but then what is cvs
log for?

In general, not just case with docs, we should pay attention to make
the log message usable afterwards.

     Cheers,
Max
