I must admit I didn't know about git2cl. The first difference I see is
that it's simpler and has less dependencies: my script doesn't use any
external modules (e.g. it doesn't parse the date) but just parses a
formatted output from git-log.

Other than that, there's not much difference: my output is a bit
sparser and my script invokes the proper git-log command by itself, so
you don't have to pipe through it (i.e. all you do is git-changelog >
ChangeLog to get your change log) but that's pretty much it.

If you want, you can have a look at it at
