Because I have a finite amount of time to spend on GNUstep and don’t consider
duplicating information in a less useful location to be a particularly
productive use of that time. It appears that the XSLT that I used with svn
doesn’t work correctly with git and no one has bothered to update it because
most projects moved away from ChangeLogs when they moved away from CVS (or, in
some cases, when they moved away from RCS).
