Yes, it seems to be against their policies.

I have checked out a copy of the CVS tree in
/home/groups/a/al/alleg/cvs_allegro_checkout and put a copy of cvs2cl.pl
in there.  The lines I posted previously work.  I think you have to do
cvs update -r new_api_branch or cvs update -A to select the right branch
first.

We can generate nicer (HTML) output by using the cvs2cl XML output and
xsltproc.  I haven't tried it on the SF servers yet, and the output for
the trunk changelog is 1.6MB without any trimming, so I suggest leaving
that for later.
