I think that a more flexible and useful feature would be format
specification for the output of "hg log".  SCCS-derived tools already
support this, and it is very useful.  Given such a feature, it would be
simple to generate a ChangeLog-format file, if you wished.

We already have some degree of templating support for driving hgweb; the
smart thing to do would be to use it for this purpose.
