better_git_changelog
Other changelog making tools were too complex and didn't do what I want. One was close, but
didn't cleanly handle the mix of 1.0.0 and v1.0.0 in the history, and didn't give links
to relevant branches.
So, I made a zero-config CHANGELOG tool.
This is generally intended to be used as a step in the ends of build chains. The author uses
it by making a command changelog in the scripts block of any project's package.json, then
writing better_git_changelog in there, and can now issue npm run changelog to receive
bacon.
