Because I have a finite amount of time to spend on GNUstep and don’t consider 
duplicating information in a less useful location to be a particularly 
productive use of that time.  It appears that the XSLT that I used with svn 
doesn’t work correctly with git and no one has bothered to update it because 
most projects moved away from ChangeLogs when they moved away from CVS (or, in 
some cases, when they moved away from RCS).
