[TYPO3-core] RFC: #11473: ChangeLog is quite big and could be split to multiple files

[Ingmar Schlecht]

This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Organizational things

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=11473

Problem:
The ChangeLog file is getting bigger and bigger, though usually people
are only interested in the changes since the last major revision.

Solution:
In order to shorten (i.e. split up into multiple files) the file, Marcus
Krause suggested the following to the dev mailing list:

We could handle it the way e.g. apache does:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/CHANGES?revision=790587

Example for 4-2: At the bottom of the file older ChangeLogs would be
referenced like this:

Changes with TYPO3 4-1:
* https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core/branches/TYPO3_4-1/ChangeLog

Branches:
TYPO3_4-0, TYPO3_4-1, TYPO3_4-2 and trunk

(needs to be all of those branches so the suggested link to old
ChangeLogs like
https://svn.typo3.org/TYPO3v4/Core/branches/TYPO3_4-1/ChangeLog would work)

cheers
