New Revision: 1456

Log:
docs/makeChangelog : New GNU-Style ChangeLog generator from git log

This can be used to generate clean GNU-Style ChangeLog history based
on the information stored in git.

It can handle git-svn repositories also.

WARNING : Since this generates as-perfect-as-possible ChangeLog, there is
a good chance that it will be very different from the hand-crafted ChangeLog.
Therefore you shouldn't use this script to replace the ChangeLog file, but
instead create (at (pre-)release time) CHANGES files (don't commit those !).

Added:
   trunk/docs/makeChangelog.py   (contents, props changed)

Added: trunk/docs/makeChangelog.py
