Hi,

this is an enhancement for net-misc/dhcpcd's live ebuild, to create a changelog from git's commit messages:

+++ dhcpcd-9999.ebuild	2013-08-26 23:05:13.000000000 +0200

+		pushd "${S}/.git" >/dev/null || die "Unable to chdir into ${S}/.git"

+		popd >/dev/null || die "Unable chdir back to previous directory"
+	fi

 }



Reproducible: Always

Due to the new git eclasses now using shallow clones, I don't think this
patch would still work. Please re-open if you find another way to do so,
and I'll re-consider doing this.

Thanks,

William
