Hi,
I think i'd be nice if once could link changelog entries back to VCS
commits more easily (to see how a bug actually got fixed). Git-dch has
support for including parts of the SHA1 for some time so together with
Vcs-Browser we can easily link back to the VCS:

Does this look like a worthwhile extension to the current changelog
format? For me it makes reviewing changes a lot easier.
