My expectation for would be that the automatic ChangeLog generation is
always the last one before tagging and branching (so for future cycles
it's run for commits from the last release tag up to HEAD at that point,
whereas for this cycle the starting commit would be the point at which we
renamed the manually written ChangeLog, not the previous release tag).
