   If you want to make sure log gets regenerated from ChangeLog entry each time you modify an already existing commit, use --regenerate-log:
 {{{

  * If you do not manually generate a ChangeLog entry and you have staged changes in your working tree, '''commit-log-editor''' will automatically generate a commit message in the WebKit ChangeLog entry format when you do 'git commit'. You can control this behaviour with the git configuration option '''webkitGenerateCommitMessage''' on a global or per-branch basis.
