The changelog is generated at release from the git log. It doesn't
exist as a file in the repository, but you can see exactly the same
information using 'git log' or

Thanks for the info. One other newbie question:

In the release tarball, there are some *.0 man pages. I would be
grateful for insight into their generation and how they differ from the
regular man pages that are on github. Thanks again.

They're just the output of the man page formatter.

They're generated by the Makefile:
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/Makefile.in#L281

Basically it's going to run something like "nroff -mandoc ssh.1
>ssh.0"
(exact command depending on your system, see
https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/master/configure.ac#L51).
