After migrating several projects from GNU-Style ChangeLogs to git with autogenerated ChangeLog files, I found a minor discrepancy in style between the old and generated ChangeLog files. The git commit message convention is that the first line of a commit message is a summary which is usually not terminated with a dot. As result, gitlog-to-changelog produces a strange mix of not dot-terminated sentences and dot-terminated ChangeLogs entries, which looks quite unlike old ChangeLog files where every sentence used to be dot-terminated.
I suggest the following adjustments to gitlog-to-changelog output: gitlog-to-changelog: treat messages without non-blank lines as empty gitlog-to-changelog: terminate the 1st line of commit message with a dot ChangeLog | 12 ++++++++++++ build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog | 10 +++++++--- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- ldv
