It's important to note that the RPM changelog is rather a different
thing from a list of commits made to the specfile.  If I went and
re-indented the spec, that would of course get a commit message but has
no relevance to the end user and should not result in a changelog
entry.  Often I make several commits to the spec, and then update the
%changelog section with a summary of user-relevant changes only when I'm
ready to bump the release.

It seems that generating %changelog from git commits would require
something like magic tags in the commit messages, which seems like
something of a pain.
