Please stop this. This is simple: if there is no ChangeLog file A)
don't create one and B) don't change files that aren't named
"ChangeLog". For example, "ChangeLog.old" does not fit the rule you
cite and therefore the existing "rule" is sufficient and clear.
Modifying ChangeLog.old or anything similar is asking to have your
commit reverted.
