And this is usually a horrible thing to fill in, unless "clog" already
contains a rationale why the update is being pushed and a short summary of
changes rather than a long FSF-style changelog with things like:

2009-01-28 John Doe <foo at example.com>

        * version.c (VERSION): Bump version.
        * main.c (main): Likewise.
        * foo.c (bar): Likewise.

2009-01-01 Luke Pedant <pedant at example.com>

        * a.c: Bump copyright date.
        * b.c: Likewise.
        * c.c: Likewise.
        * foo.c: Likewise.
        * main.c: Likewise.
        * version.c: Likewise.
        * x.c: Likewise.

etc.
