In fact the NEWS file is now what the "changelog" in a classic sense of
the word was. For commit log one should refer to git log. I'm not sure
whether it's nice or not to remove ChangeLog altogether. Renaming NEWS
does not sound good either. 

Maybe contact upstream so that they can elaborate more... like "For the
major changes since the last release see NEWS. For the commit log refer
to 'git log'." or something like this.
