Over at Xorg we use an entry in the Makefiles which writes git log's
output to ChangeLog while creating the tar files.
The relevant parts of the X server's Makefile.am are:
########
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES=ChangeLog
.PHONY: ChangeLog
ChangeLog:
(GIT_DIR=$(top_srcdir)/.git git-log > .changelog.tmp && mv
.changelog.tmp ChangeLog; rm -f .changelog.tmp) || \
(touch ChangeLog; echo 'git directory not found: installing possibly
empty changelog.' >&2)
dist-hook: ChangeLog
########
(cf http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/COPYING
for Copyright and Licence.)
It adds a bit of bulk to the tar files, but it is useful for those who
use the tar files rather than git.
