I'd like to use git-log to generate a Debian changelog file (with one
entry per commit), which has entries like this:
package-name (version-number) unstable; urgency=low
* ...
-- Example Person <person@xxxxxxxxxxx> RFC822-date
Since I'm intentionally generating one entry per commit, I can generate
*almost* all of this with git log:
git log --pretty='format:packagename (FIXME) unstable; urgency=low%n%n * %s%n%w(0,4,4)%+b%w(0,0,0)%n -- %an <%ae> %aD%n'
This produces entries like this:
packagename (FIXME) unstable; urgency=low
* Example change
Long description of example change.

packagename (FIXME) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial version
-- Josh Triplett <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Thu, 8 Jan 2015 16:36:51 -0800
Would it be possible to add a format specifier producing a commit count,
similar to that provided by git-describe? Such a specifier would allow
filling in the version number in the format above (replacing the FIXME).
(Note that the version numbers need to monotonically increase; otherwise
I would just use the commit hash as the version numer.)
