For the first pretest of a new major release, consider starting a
new top-level ChangeLog.N file if the last versioned ChangeLog.N
file is too large. A good point to start a new ChangeLog.N file
is when the last one gets larger than 1.5 MiB. If so, start a new
one by bumping N, and also update the line in top-level
Makefile.in which says
CHANGELOG_HISTORY_INDEX_MAX = N
by incrementing the value of N by 1; then regenerate Makefile.
After bumping N, you need to actually create and commit
ChangeLog.N with the updated N, otherwise "M-x authors" below will
fail. The easiest way of creating the new ChangeLog.N is to
rename the file ChangeLog (without the .N suffix) left over from
the last major release (it is usually unversioned) and commit it.
