+       gitlog-to-changelog: do not clump multi-paragraph entries
+       Identical header lines (date,name,email+coauthors) are suppressed,
+       thus putting all entries with those same characteristics under
+       a single header.  However, when a log entry consists of two or
+       more paragraphs, it may not be clear where it starts and ends.
+       This change makes it so that such an entry is always separated
+       from others by a header line, even when that header would
+       otherwise be suppressed.
+       * build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Implement the above.
+       Inspired by a related request from Stefano Lattarini in
+       http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/29456
