23 # This is a prologue that allows to run a perl script as an executable
24 # on systems that are compliant to a POSIX version before POSIX:2017.
25 # On such systems, the usual invocation of an executable through execlp()
26 # or execvp() fails with ENOEXEC if it is a script that does not start
27 # with a #! line. The script interpreter mentioned in the #! line has
28 # to be /bin/sh, because on GuixSD systems that is the only program that
29 # has a fixed file name. The second line is essential for perl and is
30 # also useful for editing this file in Emacs. The next two lines below
31 # are valid code in both sh and perl. When executed by sh, they re-execute
32 # the script through the perl program found in $PATH. The '-x' option
33 # is essential as well; without it, perl would re-execute the script
34 # through /bin/sh. When executed by perl, the next two lines are a no-op.

70 Usage: $ME [OPTIONS] [ARGS]
72 Convert git log output to ChangeLog format. If present, any ARGS
73 are passed to "git log". To avoid ARGS being parsed as options to
74 $ME, they may be preceded by '--'.
76 OPTIONS:
78 --amend=FILE FILE maps from an SHA1 to perl code (i.e., s/old/new/) that
79 makes a change to SHA1's commit log text or metadata.
80 --append-dot append a dot to the first line of each commit message if
81 there is no other punctuation or blank at the end.
82 --no-cluster never cluster commit messages under the same date/author
83 header; the default is to cluster adjacent commit messages
84 if their headers are the same and neither commit message
85 contains multiple paragraphs.
86 --srcdir=DIR the root of the source tree, from which the .git/
87 directory can be derived.
88 --since=DATE convert only the logs since DATE;
89 the default is to convert all log entries.
90 --until=DATE convert only the logs older than DATE.
91 --ignore-matching=PAT ignore commit messages whose first lines match PAT.
92 --ignore-line=PAT ignore lines of commit messages that match PAT.
93 --format=FMT set format string for commit subject and body;
94 see 'man git-log' for the list of format metacharacters;
95 the default is '%s%n%b%n'
96 --strip-tab remove one additional leading TAB from commit message lines.
97 --strip-cherry-pick remove data inserted by "git cherry-pick";
98 this includes the "cherry picked from commit ..." line,
99 and the possible final "Conflicts:" paragraph.
100 --help display this help and exit
101 --version output version information and exit
103 EXAMPLE:
105 $ME --since=2008-01-01 > ChangeLog
106 $ME -- -n 5 foo > last-5-commits-to-branch-foo
108 SPECIAL SYNTAX:
110 The following types of strings are interpreted specially when they appear
111 at the beginning of a log message line. They are not copied to the output.
113 Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes
114 Append the "(tiny change)" notation to the usual "date name email"
115 ChangeLog header to mark a change that does not require a copyright
116 assignment.
117 Co-authored-by: Joe User <user\@example.com>
118 List the specified name and email address on a second
119 ChangeLog header, denoting a co-author.
120 Signed-off-by: Joe User <user\@example.com>
121 These lines are simply elided.
123 In a FILE specified via --amend, comment lines (starting with "#") are ignored.
124 FILE must consist of <SHA,CODE+> pairs where SHA is a 40-byte SHA1 (alone on
125 a line) referring to a commit in the current project, and CODE refers to one
126 or more consecutive lines of Perl code. Pairs must be separated by one or
127 more blank line.
129 Here is sample input for use with --amend=FILE, from coreutils:
