Yes, in general one wants to create git commit messages from new changelog entries, so that when you make a notable change, your users can see it and your developers can see it, but you generally don't want "fix typo" commit messages in your changelog, and you generally want to collapse multi-commit changes into a single changelog entry. But for historical work, I guess it helps as a start. ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home

Ugly, but workable:
for tag in $(git tag | tac | grep -v -- '-'); do echo $tag; [ -n
"$tag" ] && {echo $tag..$previous_tag; git log $tag..$previous_tag;
echo; echo '-'; echo} >> temp ; previous_tag="$tag"; done

Re: Please add (upstream) changelog to vcsh
After looking at what the git logs get transferred into, they are not even near my expectations of a changelog. The result is more or less a brain dump, but lacks concise editing. If anyone knows of a trick to show all commit messages between any two subsequent tags, that would help with writing a changelog, though.

Since then, this has been on my todo. I guess this poke is a good an excuse as any to actually do this :) My plan would be to create a changelog and simply copy over everything into the Debian one; if you have any other ideas, now it's time to pipe up.

Please add (upstream) changelog to vcsh
Hi, I've just updated vcsh in Wheezy and was curious to see what changed, but neither in the Debian package nor in the upstream Git repository is a project changelog. Could you please be so kind to add one? It'd be a shame not to have one, since there are so nice ways to autogenerate changelogs from Git commit messages.[1] [1] I know of git-dch, but there must also be Debian independent tools.
