tool to convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog

## NAME

git2cl        -  tool to convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog

## SYNOPSIS

git2cl \> ChangeLog

## DESCRIPTION

Convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog format.

If you don't want git2cl to invoke git log internally, you can use it as a pipe.  It needs a git log generated with --pretty --numstat and --summary.  You can use it as follows:

git log --pretty --numstat --summary \| git2cl \> ChangeLog
