    patch=$(git format-patch -1 $hash)
    files=$(grep 'diff --git' $patch | sed s',^.*b/,,')
    rm $patch

However, I did not realized that we are going to generate ChangeLog

I am sure this has been discussed here and sufficiently convincing
arguments in favor of generating them have been advanced to ensure that
the parties involved would not be swayed by my dismay :-(
