GNU projects under a revision control system generally possess
@emph{two} types of log for changes.  One is the per-file log
maintained by the revision control system: each time you check in a
change, you must fill out a @dfn{log entry} for the change (@pxref{Log
Buffer}).  This kind of log is called the @dfn{version control log},
or sometimes the @dfn{revision control log}, `@samp{*rcs*} log', or
`@samp{*cvs*} log'.

The other kind of log the change log file, typically called
@file{ChangeLog}.  It provides a chronological record of all changes
to a large portion of a program---one directory and its
subdirectories.  A small program would use one @file{ChangeLog} file;
a large program may well merit a @file{ChangeLog} file in each major
directory.  @xref{Change Log}.
