Usage: $ME [OPTIONS] [ARGS]

Convert git log output to ChangeLog format.  If present, any ARGS
are passed to "git log".  To avoid ARGS being parsed as options to
$ME, they may be preceded by '--'.

OPTIONS:

   --since=DATE convert only the logs since DATE;
                  the default is to convert all log entries.

   --help       display this help and exit
   --version    output version information and exit

EXAMPLE:

  $ME --since=2008-01-01 > ChangeLog
  $ME -- -n 5 foo > last-5-commits-to-branch-foo
