Hi,
I started to use gitlog-to-changelog for my projects. However, there is
a little annoying thing: Every so often I like to add longer blurbs to
the git commit log which I don't want to see in a ChangeLog. Examples
are quotes from discussions, benchmarks or a longer description.
I came up with this little patch which allows me to do this quite
easily. The marker used are two dashes at the begin of a line (similar
to the mail sig line delimiter). Given the rules for ChangeLogs, it is
very unlikely that this pattern will ever show up in a real ChangeLog.
Any opinions?

I am not sure wether this is elegant perl code, though.
