No need to add a changelog for typo fixes and such.
It is ridiculous to fill the changelog with irrelevant data.

The requirement that package EVR is added to every changelog
entry is questionable in such cases, too.

I've never used the force-tag option, but "TAG_OPTS=-F make tag"
a few times for "lame commits" where I forgot to add a file or
made a typo. It TAG_OPTS will be blocked, too, I don't care. It's
fine with me to simply bump release. But I won't add a completely
new changelog entry for minor fixes in unreleased revisions.
