=head1 NAME

gen-changelog - Creates a ChangeLog from a git log

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  gen-changelog <options>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<gen-changelog> is a small Perl script that reads the output of git log
and creates a file using the GNU ChangeLog format. It should be used when
creating a tarball of a project, to provide a full log of the changes to
the users.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item -h, --help

Prints a brief help message

=item E<lt>sinceE<gt>..E<lt>untilE<gt>

Show only commits between the named two commits. When either E<lt>sinceE<gt>
or E<lt>untilE<gt> is omitted, it defaults to `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the
current branch. For a more complete list of ways to spell E<lt>sinceE<gt>
and E<lt>untilE<gt>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in git rev-parse.

=back

=head1 CAVEATS

B<gen-changelog> is very simple and should be tweaked to fit your use case.
It does fit the author's, but he'll gladly accept patches and requests.

=head1 EXAMPLES

=over 4

=item Print the full log and redirect it to a file

  gen-changelog > ChangeLog

=item Print the changelog of the local changes

  gen-changelog origin..HEAD
