git2cl
======

This is a quick'n'dirty tool to convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog
format.

The tool invokes 'git log' internally unless you pipe a log to it.
Thus, typically you would use it as follows:

...........................................................................
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ git2cl > ChangeLog
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$
...........................................................................

If you don't want git2cl to invoke git log internally, you can use it
as a pipe.  It needs a git log generated with --pretty --numstat and
--summary.  You can use it as follows:

...........................................................................
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ git log --pretty --numstat --summary | ~/src/git2cl/git2cl > ChangeLog
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$
...........................................................................

The output format is specified by:

My inspiration for writing this tool was the
link:http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/[cvs2cl] tool, which I have been
using in several projects.  Replacing it was necessary to seriously
consider switching from CVS to GIT for my projects.

The canonical home page for git2cl is:
