[PATCH 2/2] allow running mklog as a filter

[tsaunders at mozilla dot com]

From: Trevor Saunders <tbsaunde@mozilla.com>

Hi,

I'd like to be able to suggest a git prepare-committ-msg hook, that uses this
at some point to populate the commit message at some point.  This doesn't do
that, but its a step in that direction, what would remain is just writing a
shell script to pipe git diff to mklog and then put the result in the commit
template.  Until that's done this atleast makes it so you don't need to
interact with a diff file at any point.
