I second that. I like to apply the patch as-is, test it and have a 
"ready" change log entry to copy&paste, however a changelog "diff" 
creates most often a conflict, since a time and other changes might have 
mixed in, as well as I might have reviewed or modified the patch itself.
In other words, I'd like to know what I am am patching, but a material 
diff to ChangeLog is a nuisance.
