The git log messages.

There's a NEWS/Changes document that shows any major changes.
Other than that, the only location are the git log messages.  No,
we're not going to add a third source of info about such things;
we already don't have enough people working on administration as
it is.
(nobody checks the regression tests for each release, for example
-- and that's trivially done with a web browser!)
