Allow multiple paths in --commit-path

[rigor789]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch git-raw-commits@2.0.0 for the project I'm working on.

We're working in a monorepo, and would like to generate changelogs for the whole repo, excluding certain folders. I was able to achieve this using the git pathspec syntax, and a small change in git-raw-commits.

We're now able to use the following to generate the changelog excluding a specific sub-path:

conventional-changelog -p angular -i CHANGELOG.md -s --commit-path='. :!packages/*'

Not sure if this would fit in the scope of this project - but I thought I'd share in case anyone runs into a similar issue.

If this is something you are willing to merge, let me know and I can prepare a PR.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/git-raw-commits/index.js b/node_modules/git-raw-commits/index.js
index 767d4a0..e76c33c 100644
--- a/node_modules/git-raw-commits/index.js

   // this is useful for monorepos.
   if (gitOpts.path) {
-    gitArgs.push('--', gitOpts.path)
+    gitArgs.push('--', ...gitOpts.path.split(' '))
   }
 
   return gitArgs.concat(dargs(gitOpts, {

This issue body was partially generated by patch-package.

Literally just digging into this as well! In my case, I want to filter commits that touch:
a) a specific project folder, e.g. packages/a
b) shared scripts across all projects, e.g. shared

Having the ability to specific multiple paths is exactly what's needed!

@t-kelly with the above patch you would be able to pass these and I believe would work

--commit-path='packages/a shared'

(may need some trial & error to confirm)

Yep! Works like a charm. Also thank you for introducing me to patch package!!! HOW AM I ONLY JUST DISCOVERING THIS!?!

Also looking at this in relation to lerna/lerna#1257
Thought to generate changelogs myself but seems that it would not be possible without patching (which I would prefer to avoid)
Initially assumed that this param would accept glob pattern and was fiddling with formats so thanks for opening this 👍

This was fixed and merged here: #1079

You don't need to use patch-package. You can use override in package.json.

  "dependencies": {
    "conventional-changelog-core": "^7.0.0"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "conventional-changelog-core": {
      "git-raw-commits": "4.0.0"
    }
  },

I didn't test this exact snippets but the almost the same worked for me for the standard-version package: conventional-changelog/standard-version#959
