git_dir_changelog is useful in theory, but it requires pairs of
annotated tags, which should be generated by rpkg itself to make any
sense, implying a relatively heavyweight interaction whenever I want
to push a new package version.
Also, the default content of the changelog entries include the full
list of changes, but the Fedora Packaging Guidelines specifically
mention that:
[t]hey must never simply contain an entire copy of the source
CHANGELOG entries.
We don't have a CHANGELOG file, but the full git history is
conceptually equivalent for this purpose, I guess.
Introduce our own passt_git_changelog() rpkg macro, building
changelog entries, using tags in the form DATE-SHA, where DATE
is an ISO 8601 date representation, and SHA is a short (7-digits)
form of the head commit at a given moment (git push).
These changelog entries mention, specifically, changes to the
packaging information itself (entries under contrib/fedora), and
simply report a link to cgit for the ranges between tags.
