Tags: patch

Attached are two patches to change the Emacs repository so that the distributed 
ChangeLog file is generated automatically from commit logs, instead of being 
maintained manually.  The first patch renames every ChangeLog file to 
ChangeLog.1 (or whatever) to get it out of the way -- that is, all existing 
ChangeLog files are retained in the repository as before.  The second patch 
arranges for the new ChangeLog file to be generated automatically from future 
commit messages.  The idea is that developers should continue to write commit 
messages in ChangeLog style, so the automatic generation is straightforward, but 
they needn't record their commit messages in ChangeLog files.  This approach was 
developed by Jim Meyering is used by several other GNU packages.

This is a first cut, and no doubt could be improved for Emacs, but I thought I'd 
start the ball rolling by publishing something that works for me.

These patches are relative to emacs-24 commit cd2e816 
<2014-11-19T19:29:40Z!eggert@cs.ucla.edu>.

PS.  The first patch would be about 12 MB, so I'm attaching an abbreviated 
summary of it instead of the actual patch; it can be reproduced using the 
summary's recipe.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Generate a ChangeLog file from commit logs.

Instead of having a ChangeLog file or files in the repository,
generate the ChangeLog file automatically from the git commit logs,
as part of the process of making a distribution.
The new procedure has been tested with vc-dwim, and this
commit was generated by vc-dwim.  Also, 'make dist woriks'.
However, I haven't tested other ways to create change log entries nor have
I tested the entire release process, and no doubt further work is needed.
* .gitignore: Add ChangeLog.
* Makefile.in (gen_start_date): New macro.
(gen-ChangeLog): New rule.
* admin/admin.el (make-manuals-dist--1):
Don't treat ChangeLog specially.
* admin/merge-gnulib (GNULIB_MODULES): Add gitlog-to-changelog.
* admin/notes/repo: Add note about vc-dwim.
* admin/admin.el (add-release-logs, make-manuals-dist--1):
* admin/make-tarball.txt, admin/notes/bugtracker:
* lisp/emacs-lisp/authors.el:
Add a FIXME comment.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: New file, from Gnulib.
* lisp/calendar/icalendar.el, lisp/gnus/deuglify.el:
* lisp/emacs-lisp/gulp.el, lwlib/README, make-dist:
Adjust to renamed old ChangeLog files.
* make-dist: Use 'make gen-ChangeLog' to build top-level
ChangeLog in the distribution.

+OPTIONS:

+   --amend=FILE FILE maps from an SHA1 to perl code (i.e., s/old/new/) that
+                  makes a change to SHA1's commit log text or metadata.
+   --append-dot append a dot to the first line of each commit message if
+                  there is no other punctuation or blank at the end.
+   --no-cluster never cluster commit messages under the same date/author
+                  header; the default is to cluster adjacent commit messages
+                  if their headers are the same and neither commit message
+                  contains multiple paragraphs.
+   --srcdir=DIR the root of the source tree, from which the .git/
+                  directory can be derived.
+   --since=DATE convert only the logs since DATE;
+                  the default is to convert all log entries.
+   --format=FMT set format string for commit subject and body;
+                  see 'man git-log' for the list of format metacharacters;
+                  the default is '%s%n%b%n'
+   --strip-tab  remove one additional leading TAB from commit message lines.
+   --strip-cherry-pick  remove data inserted by "git cherry-pick";
+                  this includes the "cherry picked from commit ..." line,
+                  and the possible final "Conflicts:" paragraph.
+   --help       display this help and exit
+   --version    output version information and exit
+
+EXAMPLE:
+
+  $ME --since=2008-01-01 > ChangeLog
+  $ME -- -n 5 foo > last-5-commits-to-branch-foo
+
+SPECIAL SYNTAX:
+
+The following types of strings are interpreted specially when they appear
+at the beginning of a log message line.  They are not copied to the output.
+
+  Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes
+    Append the "(tiny change)" notation to the usual "date name email"
+    ChangeLog header to mark a change that does not require a copyright
+    assignment.
+  Co-authored-by: Joe User <user\@example.com>
+    List the specified name and email address on a second
+    ChangeLog header, denoting a co-author.
+  Signed-off-by: Joe User <user\@example.com>
+    These lines are simply elided.
+
+In a FILE specified via --amend, comment lines (starting with "#") are ignored.
+FILE must consist of <SHA,CODE+> pairs where SHA is a 40-byte SHA1 (alone on
+a line) referring to a commit in the current project, and CODE refers to one
+or more consecutive lines of Perl code.  Pairs must be separated by one or
+more blank line.
+
+Here is sample input for use with --amend=FILE, from coreutils:
+
+3a169f4c5d9159283548178668d2fae6fced3030
