I am again requesting the addition of options to tools/git_changelog so
I can more easily produce the release notes. I asked for this during
9.1 development and it was rejected. I am currently using my own
custom version of the tool, but have to merge community improvements
into the tool every year before I use it.

The attached patch gives you an idea of what I want to add. New options
are:

--details-after Show branch and author info after the commit description
--master-only Show commits made exclusively to the master branch
--oldest-first Show oldest commits first

I know of now to do this with a post-processing script.
