That's an okay solution for developers, but end users don't
necessarily access the repo, so the logs can still be useful for them.
(Of course, the logs could be generated from the repo when the release
is tarred, if the developers are disciplined enough to write log
messages that can serve as ChangeLog entries as well.)
