IMHO there are problems with this approach:
-- it's too easy to forget to regenerate changelog;
-- too much eye-ball filtering, certainly error-prone;
-- commit messages and News.txt entries could be different - they are
oriented to different audiences: commit messages are for SQLObject
developers, News.txt entries are for SQLObject users.
