I tend to think this would be an over-engineered solution unless this
happens often, but if you're sufficiently-motivated, you could look at
using notes refs for this purpose.[1] git-notes are intended (for the
most part) to add information to existing history, so a system could
certainly be constructed during changelog gen that would read from a
note as well if it exists (or perhaps in an overriding fashion).

If you do go down this route, please CC me; I'd be interested to see
where you end up.
