[PATCH] maint: support amending the generated ChangeLog, and fix a typo

[Peter Rosin]

* Makefile.am (gitlog_to_changelog_options): Add support for
amending the generated ChangeLog.
* lib/git-log-fix: New file with things to amend to the generated
ChangeLog, starting with a fix for a typo in v1.11-1963-g3b369e6
from yesterday.

Hi!

I noticed a typo in a commit message and thought I'd start the
ChangeLog amend thing.  Is it ok to put the fixes in lib/git-log-fix?
I didn't think the fixes should be distributed, since the ChangeLog
is already generated in that case and "git log" is kind of useless
without a repo.  Also, other projects don't seem to do it...

Ok for master?

Or should this be two patches, with the infrastructure commited to
maint and the fixlet commited to master?

Cheers,
Peter
