To complete, it work like this :
- the changelog is created by taking every commit message in svn for the
current branch of the package, except if it start with "SILENT:" on the
first line, in which case the whole message is discarded. Line starting
by "SILENT:" who are not the first are also removed, this permit to have
filtering on each line.

- Then a file called log, coming from svn, is added to the end of the
changelog. This file is where the previous changelog before the
migration is stored. 

For example this file : 
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/misc/acl/log?revision=523&view=markup

That's the changelog from mandriva before it got forked to mageia, but
this can also be the changelog before a package was imported in the svn.
Extraction is done on import by a dedicated tool called mdvsys ( or
mgarepo, a fork ).

- then we add '%changelog' + changelog in the spec, and build a srpm out
of svn and mirrors for binary content.
 
- then the srpm is rebuilt ( binary and src.rpm ) and then sent to
mirrors.
