@@ -2,37 +2,15 @@ Please note that Wget has more than one ChangeLog file:
 
     ./ChangeLog: documents changes to files in the top-level directory
                  and to files in subdirectories like po/ that don't have
-                 their own ChangeLogs 
-
-    doc/ChangeLog: documents only changes to files in the doc directory
+                 their own ChangeLogs
 
     src/ChangeLog: documents only changes to files in the src directory
 
-When checking to see if a patch you sent in has been applied, please
-look in the appropriate ChangeLog(s).

-In addition, you'll notice the ChangeLog-branches directories.

-In late 2000, time constraints delayed the release of Wget 1.6.  While
-it was awaiting release, people had new features and other changes they
-wanted added to the CVS archive, but these were deemed not safe to
-introduce just before a release.
+    doc/ChangeLog: documents only changes to files in the doc directory
 
-The solution was to split the stable 1.6 off onto its own branch, while
-free-wheeling development continued on the main branch (whose version
-was changed from 1.5.3+dev to 1.7-dev).
+    windows/ChangeLog: documents only changes to files in the windows directory
 
-Unfortunately it's difficult to portray this branched development in the
-flat ChangeLog file.  Either you include 1.6-branch changes in the
-1.7-branch ChangeLog, in which case it becomes impossible to tell what
-release version a given change first went into Wget, just judging by
-date and position in the ChangeLog, or you omit all 1.6-branch changes
-from the 1.7-branch ChangeLog, in which case all evidence of the
-existence of 1.6 (and further information about that branch) disappears
-from future versions of Wget.
+    msdos/ChangeLog: documents only changes to files in the msdos directory
 
-The solution that was decided upon was to make a subdirectory called
-ChangeLog-branches adjacent to each ChangeLog file.  Inside is the
-corresponding ChangeLog from the most recent release on the stable
-branch (e.g. 1.6_branch.ChangeLog).  This way, no information is lost
-and there's no misleading information in the ChangeLog.
