That's the nice thing about using the common ChangeLog; if those changes 
don't get merged onto HEAD, then the ChangeLog entries won't get merged 
either.  The ChangeLog entries should get merged along with the affected 
files; that way everything tracks together.

I can try and poke at the prepare-ChangeLog.pl script, but I will admit 
that I know no more perl than you.  I'm afraid too much of our 
infrastructure is starting to rely on a language that none of us want to 
learn...
