This tool creates a changelog entry that can be later on tagged with tito.

Usage: mkchlog [OPTIONS] [MESSAGE]

When called from a subdirectory of any Uyuni package, create a changelog file in
the following format:

If not explicitly specified, fetch username and feature_name from git email's
username part and the current branch name.

With no MESSAGE, open a text editor for manual input.
The default editor can be specified by setting the EDITOR environment variable.

  -f, --feature         set the feature name to use as a filename part
  -u, --username        set the username to use as a filename part
  -r, --remove          remove existing changelog file
  -c, --commit          do a git commit with MESSAGE as the commit message
  -n, --no-wrap         do not wrap automatically the message at 67 characters
