Hm. Yeah, that's close. Date and author would be nice, but the 
minimalism of the above command also has some appeal.

Conceptually, what is the difference between changelog and patch-log? 
They seem to have a lot of overlap. Would you add the -s option to 
changelog, to patch-log, or to both?

Perhaps patch-log could default to --header Summary if no --header is 
provided. The default output from patch-log with no arguments doesn't 
look very useful, at least on my tiny tree.
