This does not resolve a ugly part which is the duplication of
information: in the changelog file and in the commit changelog.
Documenting commit properly should be enough.
A better idea, if you want a user readable changelog, is 2 write the
commit message in a parseable format with 2 information: one for the
developer (what the commit changes in the code, API, whatever), and one
for the user (what it changes in the software usage). That last one only
if necessary.
And with this, it's a win-win: you can generate changelog files, and you
can read changelog while reading commit/bisecting/whatever git action
you do.
