I disagree. In a centralised VCS sure, you can scale to 100's of commits
a day - but in a distributed VCS - e.g. bzr, git, hg, monotone ... you
tend to get 100's of commits on branches, and a much smaller number of
branch merges occuring - branch merges being the point at which code
review is done, regression tests run etc. And its entirely appropriate
to create a human meaningful summary of the aggregate work done on that
branch.
