Emacs' VC (since 22.2) can also do that (see (info "(emacs) Types of Log File")). That said, the ideal would be something like `add-change-log-entry' that operates on Git logs instead of ChangeLogs, but there doesn't seem to be anything like this. DVC is said to support things like that, but it doesn't seem to be well documented. Thanks, Ludovic.
