git2cl

|
|
======
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a quick'n'dirty tool to convert git logs to GNU ChangeLog
|
||
|
|
format.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tool invokes 'git log' internally unless you pipe a log to it.
|
||
|
|
Thus, typically you would use it as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...........................................................................
|
||
|
|
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ git2cl > ChangeLog
|
||
|
|
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$
|
||
|
|
...........................................................................
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
...........................................................................
|
||
|
|
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$ git log --pretty --numstat --summary | ~/src/git2cl/git2cl > ChangeLog
|
||
|
|
jas@mocca:~/src/libtasn1$
|
||
|
|
...........................................................................
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

My inspiration for writing this tool was the
|
||
|
|
link:http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/[cvs2cl] tool, which I have been
|
||
|
|
using in several projects. Replacing it was necessary to seriously
|
||
|
|
consider switching from CVS to GIT for my projects.
