Today I decided to generate a ChangeLog for one of my projects. And I started to search a solution to automate this process. I used a cvs2cl script before, and it was not surprise for my, that similar tools for git are available too.

After few minutes of googling around, I have found gitlog-to-changelog tool in the gnulib package. Here the link to pull gitlog-to-changelog from gnulib's repository.

Just download this and place somewhere in you PATH. And don't forget to make this perl script executable. Also, you need a recent version of the git. I found, that any version above 1.5.3 will be OK.

Also, you may be interested in similar tool for SVN. It's name is svn2log.
