--decorate=full is needed with my git 1.7.1 to get the necessary
output so that the previous edit would work to extract the
Version stuff.
... but I had to edit how the refs/tags was extracted since it
had a little flaw that made it miss the 7.20.1 output.
Finally, I changed so that Version is outputted even more similar
to how CHANGES does it.
$ git log --pretty=fuller --no-color --date=short | ./log2changes.pl
Of course, limiting the log output with a range like with
"[tag]..HEAD" appended can be very useful too.
