On the GParted project, we append the git log to the old ChangeLog when 
a tar ball is created (e.g., make dist).

The code can be found in the "dist-hook" target of the Makefile.am at 
the following link:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gparted/tree/Makefile.am

The credit for the code belongs to another project, though I do not 
recall where I first saw this implemented.
