If I were to write svn2cl today I probably wouldn't use XSLT as it is
pretty inefficient for large XML files. My advice would be to try to
split up the ChangeLog files (I commonly archive them by year).

Subversion changelogs are a little funky when following renames of
directories. As a workaround you can split the svn2cl command and
combine the output. In one of my projects I used the equivalent of this:

( svn2cl -i --stdout -r HEAD:1835 ; \
  svn2cl -i --stdout -r 1835:1586 --strip-prefix='nss-pam-ldapd' ; \
) > ChangeLog

In the above case the rename of trunk happened in commit 1836.

Kind regards,
