    gitlog-to-changelog: provide a ChangeLog-repair mechanism
    
    Git logs are often treated as immutable, because editing them
    changes the SHA1 checksums of all descendants.  Thus, errors in
    git logs tend to stay there forever.  However, when we generate
    a ChangeLog file -- typically for distribution -- from that git log,
    we can actually make corrections in the generated file.  The key
    lies in recording in machine-readable/applicable form the desired
    corrections.  See --help for description and an example.
    * build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (parse_amend_file): New function.
    (usage): Describe it; alphabetize option descriptions.
    (main): Honor the new option, carefully.
