That'd be fine with me, but I'd also suggest to have a pointer to ChangeLog.GNAT in gdb/ChangeLog, right where the import of Ada changes is recorded. Something like "See ChangeLog.GNAT for details of the changes." An alternative idea is to put the contents of ChangeLog.GNAT into gdb/ChangeLog, but indent it so that the date/time stamps of the included ChangeLog.GNAT are not aligned with the rest of time stamps, and thus the time monotonicity is not disrupted. I think the Texinfo project did that in the past when large changes were merged that were maintained separately for some time.
