My dist-git commit messages often contain stuff that is too long for the RPM
%changelog. They also usually contain a complete paste of the RPM %changelog
entry including the date + author + EVR line in the body (plus a summary as
the special first line, plus occasionally some additional freeform text as a
separate paragraph below the changelog snippet paste). If you attempt to
generate an RPM %changelog from that, it will look really, really ugly.
