I've added you to the group of developers. Now you have write access
to /home/groups/a/al/alleg/htdocs, which is the web space. Now you
can create a script on your machine which could look like this:

  generate_changelog_for_4.3
    => changelog_4.3.txt
  rsync changelog_4.3.txt with verison on shell server

And that would be it. Having the repository on your server avoids
bandwidth from other people to get the logs, and using rsync allows
you to upload only the modifications saving bandwidth.

Tell me when you are done with it and the name of the files you
chose, so I update the web page and put links to the files.
