Except when you want to see what *group* of files comprized a commit, as a person who often has to track things down these log files are priceless. I will agree for joy blow average commiter they are not needed, but if you have ever had to go pull a whole patch out of the tree as it was commited the only way to find it is in these log files! These log files since they are now rolled over and the current versions of them reflect *only* the change from 2.0.5A to 2.0.5R will be valuable in preparing release notes. They will be more valuable between 2.0.5R and 2.1R since the I plan to roll them again then.
