Emmanuele Bassi cf80105ab0 [build] Add automatic ChangeLog generation on dist
Since we moved to Git from Subversion we've abandoned the ChangeLog
file in favour of a more detailed commit log.

In order to maintain a ChangeLog for users of the tarballs, we need
to generate a ChangeLog file out of the commit log when distchecking
a Clutter release.

For this reason, we use a simple Perl script that is invoked by the
dist-hook and generates a ChangeLog file starting from the previous
stable release.

=head1 NAME
gen-changelog - Creates a ChangeLog from a git log
=head1 SYNOPSIS
gen-changelog <options>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<gen-changelog> is a small Perl script that reads the output of git log
and creates a file using the GNU ChangeLog format. It should be used when
creating a tarball of a project, to provide a full log of the changes to
the users.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -h, --help
Prints a brief help message
=item E<lt>sinceE<gt>..E<lt>untilE<gt>
Show only commits between the named two commits. When either E<lt>sinceE<gt>
or E<lt>untilE<gt> is omitted, it defaults to `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the
current branch. For a more complete list of ways to spell E<lt>sinceE<gt>
and E<lt>untilE<gt>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in git rev-parse.
=back
=head1 CAVEATS
B<gen-changelog> is very simple and should be tweaked to fit your use case.
It does fit the author's, but he'll gladly accept patches and requests.
=head1 EXAMPLES
=over 4
=item Print the full log and redirect it to a file
gen-changelog > ChangeLog
=item Print the changelog of the local changes
gen-changelog origin..HEAD
