Hello Gnulibers.
Currently, the `gitlog-to-changelog' script clusters ChangeLog entries with
the same date together, placing them under a single "date line" in the
generated output.
So we have something like this:
$ ./build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog -- -n 2 76d222b
2011-12-22 Jim Meyering <meyer...@redhat.com>
correct previous ChangeLog entry: s/set -x/set -e/
Spotted by Stefano Lattarini.
init.sh: avoid unwarranted test failure when using "set -x"
* tests/init.sh (compare): Ignore nonzero exit from compare_dev_null_.
Otherwise, in a test script that uses "set -x" (like many in vc-dwim)
a use like "compare exp out" would get evoke an unconditional failure.
where I'd like to see something like this instead:
$ ./build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog -- -n 2 76d222b
2011-12-22 Jim Meyering <meyer...@redhat.com>
correct previous ChangeLog entry: s/set -x/set -e/

This latter format would match the current practice used in the Automake
hand-maintained ChangeLog.
Would you consider adding an option to gitlog-to-changelog to support such a
format?
Thanks,
