I agree that this problem can be solved.  I'm far from convinced that
"git notes" can be part of such a solution, but if it works: fine by me.

But I don't want to only fix the generated ChangeLog files.  I'd like
the fixed text to appear at least in `vc-region-history' and
`vc-print-log'.
Otherwise, it's a lot of work that doesn't help me.
