doc: only distribute 5 years of ChangeLogs
Remove old log files that have corresponding entries in the source code repository. This saves about 2.5MB uncompressed, 0.5M compressed. * Makefile.am (gen-ChangeLog): Adjust to taking all logs since a particular version (8.15 in this case). Also mention in the truncated log where to get older entries. (changelog_etc): Remove the no longer distributed files. * build-aux/git-log-fix: Remove now unused entries. * ChangeLog-200[5-8]: Delete. * doc/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * po/ChangeLog-2007: Likewise. * old/*: Likewise.

- [2.0.15]
-* date no longer accepts e.g., September 31 in the MMDDhhmm syntax
-* fix a bug in this package's .m4 files and in configure.ac
- [2.0.14]
-* nohup's behavior is changed as follows, to conform to POSIX 1003.1-2001:
- - nohup no longer adjusts scheduling priority; use "nice" for that.
- - nohup now redirects stderr to stdout, if stderr is not a terminal.
- - nohup exit status is now 126 if command was found but not invoked,
- 127 if nohup failed or if command was not found.
- [2.0.13]
-* uname and uptime work better on *BSD systems
-* pathchk now exits nonzero for a path with a directory component
- that specifies a non-directory
- [2.0.12]
-* kill: new program
-* who accepts new options: --all (-a), --boot (-b), --dead (-d), --login,
- --process (-p), --runlevel (-r), --short (-s), --time (-t), --users (-u).
- The -u option now produces POSIX-specified results and is the same as
- the long option `--users'. --idle is no longer the same as -u.
-* The following changes apply on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2001,
- and are required by the new POSIX standard:
- - `date -I' is no longer supported. Instead, use `date --iso-8601'.
- - `nice -NUM' is no longer supported. Instead, use `nice -n NUM'.
-* New 'uname' options -i or --hardware-platform, and -o or --operating-system.
- 'uname -a' now outputs -i and -o information at the end.
- New uname option --kernel-version is an alias for -v.
- Uname option --release has been renamed to --kernel-release,
- and --sysname has been renamed to --kernel-name;
- the old options will work for a while, but are no longer documented.
-* 'expr' now uses the LC_COLLATE locale for string comparison, as per POSIX.
-* 'expr' now requires '+' rather than 'quote' to quote tokens;
- this removes an incompatibility with POSIX.
-* date -d 'last friday' would print a date/time that was one hour off
- (e.g., 23:00 on *thursday* rather than 00:00 of the preceding friday)
- when run such that the current time and the target date/time fall on
- opposite sides of a daylight savings time transition.
- This problem arose only with relative date strings like `last monday'.
- It was not a problem with strings that include absolute dates.
-* factor is twice as fast, for large numbers
- [2.0.11]
-* setting the date now works properly, even when using -u
-* `date -f - < /dev/null' no longer dumps core

- [2.0i]
-* fixed a bug introduced in 2.0h that made many programs fail with a
- `write error' when invoked with the --version option
- [2.0h]
-* all programs fail when printing --help or --version output to a full device
-* printf exits nonzero upon write failure
-* yes now detects and terminates upon write failure
-* date --rfc-822 now always emits day and month names from the `C' locale
-* portability tweaks for Solaris8, Ultrix, and DOS
- [2.0g]
-* date now handles two-digit years with leading zeros correctly.
-* printf interprets unicode, \uNNNN \UNNNNNNNN, on systems with the
- required support; from Bruno Haible.

-* seq's --equal-width option works more portably
- [2.0f]

- [2.0e]
-* stty: fix long-standing bug that caused test failures on at least HPUX
- systems when COLUMNS was set to zero
-* still more portability fixes
-* unified lib/: now that directory and most of the configuration framework
- is common between fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils
- [2.0d]
-* fix portability problem with sleep vs lib/strtod.c's requirement for -lm
- [2.0c]
-* fix portability problems with nanosleep.c and with the new code in sleep.c
- [2.0b]
-* Regenerate lib/Makefile.in so that nanosleep.c is distributed.
- [2.0a]
-* sleep accepts floating point arguments on command line
-* sleep's clock continues counting down when sleep is suspended
-* when a suspended sleep process is resumed, it continues sleeping if
- there is any time remaining
-* who once again prints whatever host information it has, even without --lookup
-Changes in release 2.0
-* disable stty tests (otherwise they fail) when `make check' is run via rsh
- [1.16m]

-* work around problems with my use of AC_SEARCH_LIBS
-* fix a bug in id
- [1.16i]
-* portability tweaks for lib/readutmp.[ch] and src/date.c
- [1.16h]
-* seq with no arguments now elicits a useful diagnostic rather than a segfault
-* portability tweaks to work around utmpname differences
-* who works on Solaris
- [1.16g]
-* factor now uses uintmax_t, so the largest number it can factor is now 2^64 - 1
- on systems with type `long long'.
-* nohup no longer modifies the shell's search path
-* `basename /' now prints `/', per the single unix spec
-* `who --lookup' no longer erroneously reports `localhost' for IP addresses
- for which it could not do a reverse lookup.

- [1.16f]
-* chroot now calls chdir ("/") after chroot.
-* `date -s' now exits with nonzero status upon failure
-* new autoconf tests detect bugs in vendor mktime from Irix-6.4 and SunOS4.1.4
- Your executables will be a little larger on such systems because you'll use
- GNU's mktime function, but date will work more reliably.
-* hostid: new program
-* `yes --help' and `yes --version' print those strings when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
- environment variable is set
-* who no longer does DNS lookups by default -- the new option, --lookup (-l),

-User visible changes in release 1.9.3
-* `stty -a -g' gets a diagnostic
-* `stty {-a|-g} any-other-argument' gets a diagnostic
-* stty no longer ignores some of its arguments

-* better support for Linux, Dec Alpha, and SGI Irix
-* all programs (even true and false) accept --version and --help options
-* uname's --version option is no longer equivalent to its -v option
-* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of

- ../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
- and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
