mmmm taking some coffee i sbetter, but having a commit message
formmatted like this:
Short description in 1 line
description
close #COUCHDB-XXXX
where final line can be
- `close TICKET` for features
- `fix TICKET` for fixes
works generally well to build changelogs and reports. Also the 1 line
on top could also be used in messaging systems :)
