Re: generate ChangeLog from Git commit messages?

[John Darrington]

It seems to work OK with git 1.5.5.3 but not with git 1.4.4.4 


I suppose this doesn't really matter.  The person making the release
just has to make sure that he's using a recent git version.  But
the error message is rather obscure so perhaps the makefile or the
perl script should have a version check on it.

     I don't think it's working properly for me.  When I do "make dist" I
     get:
     
     
     if test -d ./.git; then                 \
               ./gitlog-to-changelog --since=2008-07-27      \

               rm -f pspp-0.6.1/ChangeLog;                           \
               mv pspp-0.6.1/cl-t pspp-0.6.1/ChangeLog;              \
