"""This script generates release notes for each merged pull request from
git merge-commit messages.
Usage:
`python release.py <start_commit> <end_commit> [--output {file,stdout}]`
For example, if you wanted to find the diff between version 1.0 and 1.2,
and write the output to the release notes file, you would type the
following:
`python release.py 1.0 1.2 -o file`
