According to the GPL, every change in a forked project must be prominently tracked. For a project that exists only as source on GItHub, this is probably OK. However, any distribution of source code that doesn't include the full git history is out of compliance, unless we include some other file which lists the changes to be included in the distribution.

A ChangeLog.txt generated by "git log" is probably sufficient.
