Do some git/svn log and cry ;-)

> From the README:
> This tool is meant to generate the KDE changelog for a given product by
> interaction with KDE's bugzilla installation.
> 
> The tool fetches all bug reports with version changed field containing the
> same version number as provided by the command line parameter "--version="
> for the product in bugzilla identified by the command line parameter
> "--product=".
> 
> For each found bug which is resolved fixed the complete information is
> fetched including all comments. If the bug has severity "wishlist" a
> "feature" entry is generated, otherwise a "bugfix" entry. Additionally the
> tool searches through all comments to find the latest git commit attached
> to the report and if one is found adds it as the referenced revision in the
> changelog entry. The bug's summary is used as the description text for the
> changelog entry.

> How to use?
> 
> Example usage to generate the changelog for product "kwin", which is part of
> module "kdeworkspace" for version 4.9.0.
> 
> $ ./changeloggenerator --product=kwin --version=4.9.0 \
> --module=kdeworkspace --repository=kde-workspace
