It looks like there's a misunderstanding about how "rpmautospec convert" works. The existing changelog (i.e. the contents of %changelog) is moved to a "changelog" file (and replaced with %autochangelog). And only commits made *after* the "changelog" file is created and / or changed are used for generating *new* changelog entries. Changelog entries that predate the rpmautospec conversion are preserved and remain unchanged. All commits that change the "changelog" file cause "stop generating changelog entries starting from this commit", so this mechanism can also be used to amend changelog entries - generate the changelog, fix things, move it into the "changelog" file.
