It's more easy to read a human changelog, (shipped with packages which
don't needs to connect to archlinux.org), than developer oriented
commits.
We can make the synthesis of several commit in the changelog to make
it more understandable. And still try to make atomic commits.

In addition separates VCS message and package history, let's it
independant from vcs tools (svn/git/hg) we choose at a time.
