[issue18967] Find a less conflict prone approach to Misc/NEWS

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

My concern with a file for each entry is a possible slowdown of some operations, like TortoiseHg resyncing the diff between repository and working directory (it is not instantaneous even now). However, if there are multiple directories and if they are emptied periodically, so that there are never more than a few hundred in any directory, it might not be too bad. I agree that this idea is otherwise an improvement.
