Just a comment about the problem git2cl solves, sorry for going a bit
Off Topic, in my projects I use this command to generate a GNU Style
ChangeLog:
git log --pretty="format:%ad %aN <%aE>%n%n%x09* %s%d%n" --date=short
or a variant which prints the timezone too in the date field:
git log --pretty="format:%ai %aN <%aE>%n%n%x09* %s%d%n"
Notable differences with git2cl:
* Puts _two_spaces_ between author's name and author's email, like
the document you quote shows. git2cl does not do that.
* Does not show the list of changed files, which is not a problem
_for_me_ since I usually put a context hint before the commit
message anyways, like:
subsystem: actual commit message...

Antonio
