You have primarily `git annotate [revision]' which is like `cvs annotate' but with the speed of GIT you can really use it. You have also `git log -S [-p]' where you can filter patches on specific text changes, it is also very fast. Despite maintaining uncountable branches of GDB I never use ChangeLogs, I do not understand what to look there for. Regards, Jan
