You can also use the cvs2cl.pl script. That's what we use in quakeforge: part
of our release process is "make changelog" (and when sourceforge's loginfo
support broke for a few weeks, what we relied on to see what was happening).
IMHO, no file that can be generated (easily) should be in cvs, and ChangeLog
is one of them :)

If you can't find cvs2cl.pl on the web (should be able to, I did find the home
page once), it's in tools/cvs2cl in the quakeforge tree
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/newtree/tools/cvs2cl/?cvsroot=quake
