how to generate a standard ChangeLog file, just from the Git o HG log?

how to generate a standard ChangeLog file, just from the Git o HG log?

[Uwe Brauer via Users list for the GNU Emacs text editor]

Hi

If I remember correctly years ago the command vc-update-change-log
filled the Standard ChangeLog files with entries from the vc log.

However vc-update-change-log does not work with HG or Git.

Anybody knows about such a tool best would be in elisp, but I wouldn't
mind some script.

For Git, we have build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog.

Thanks I found also git2cl and the syntax

git log --pretty --numstat --summary | git2cl > ChangeLog

That gives a slightly different result than gitlog-to-changelog.

For example git2cl inserts *
