CHANGELOG generator
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# CHANGELOG generator
#
# Usage:
#
# $ changelog [SINCE UNTIL]
#
# This script collects git commits from a given range (SINCE and UNTIL
# are optional refs, SINCE defaults to the last tag, UNTIL to HEAD).
#
# It looks for markers which indictate that a commit should show up in
# the changelog. In this case it searches for tags inside brackets,
# e.g. [addition, change] which correspond to the according sections.
#
# Your milage may vary, but it should be easy to adapt.
#
# Example Output:
#
# Additions
# * Create changelog generator script (2h3gnm4r5t)
# * Write some documentation (89uyt3fze5)
#
# Changes
# * Yay, never again have to do this by hand (r64rtaq2ke)
#
