I would agree. We use subversion here at the office and we used to use a 
changelog file (not the with a changelog header like NutOS in each 
file). Following a DRY (don't repeat yourself) model, subversion tracks 
changes, differences, and the commit messages, so there is not a need 
for an individual changelog or changelog header.
