Thanks Stefan, http://mapcar.org/tsvn-snapshots/1.3.x/changelog.html looks
good.

At my company we are currently generate a Changelog.txt file daily and commit
it to the repository. That increases the revision number daily but that is no
problem at all. Having it in the repository means you always have a faily
current version of Changelog.txt even if you are completely offline.

Let us append the actual log message from the revisions we merge to
the usual "Merge revision xxx and yyy from trunk". That might it more
transparent which changes have been merged to the stable branch and will
might increase the number of people downloading the stable nightly.
Something like:
Merge revision xxx and yyy from trunk:
- xxx:<logmessage from revision xxx>
- yyy:<logmessage from revision yyy>
That is hardly more time consuming.
