The trouble with this is that peoples view of what is significant is 
likely to vary. And there wont be any obvious way of summarising a lot 
of small unrelated changes.  What has happened in the past is that one 
person (usually me) has checked the log and summarised it, in the form 
that you have now discovered.

But the fact that you've only just discovered it suggests that maybe 
it's not that important!

That would certainly be a good idea

Don't see the point of that -- the old version is always there as a 
template.
