Description : git merge driver for GNU ChangeLog files
ChangeLog files *always* foul up most version control systems in
their default configuration.

git-merge-changelog is a tool from gnulib designed to help with this
for the case of GNU-style ChangeLogs; it can be used with at least
git, bzr, and hg.
Currently the Debian 'gnulib' package provide this binary package, but I
suggest to replace it with this one since it is now packaged and
released properly outside of gnulib.

Please pay special attention to the *binary* package version. We may
have to add an epoch on initial packaging. (do we need to discuss it
on debian-devel?)
