Cool ! It works for me.

Two little (cosmetic) things that popped up:

There is a date failure in the old tests/ChangeLog (it is the first entry in 
ChangeLog-2014-12-10: 2014-40-22 should be 2014-04-22).

And there should be an empty line between between the 'git log' entries and 
the 'old ChangeLog' entries.
