You can try the attached patch (against the tip). While I agree format
strings would be better, I have the same need as you regarding
ChangeLogs :)

To use it, add "--changelog" to any command (such as "log") which
displays changeset headers. Tags will also appear except for "tip"
unless you are in verbose mode (it is IMO not desirable or useful to
have "tip" present by default in a human-readable ChangeLog).

Example:

% hg log --changelog

   * Implement a ChangeLog-like output style

   * Fixes for annotate
   
   Handle files that aren't in the repo
   Handle empty files

   * Added tests for bug with three-way-merging of old tip, tip and cwd.
