I have examined the generated changelog in the temporary spec file and indeed:

> %changelog
> * Wed Jul 11 2012 Kacper Kornet <draenog at pld-linux.org> c9933bf
> Add help message explaining how to push branch for the first time
> 
> [...]
> * Wed Jul 11 2012 Kacper Kornet <draenog at pld-linux.org> ace99bc

> tag_exist accepts preexisting tag pointing to HEAD
> 
> * Wed Jul 11 2012 Kacper Kornet <draenog at pld-linux.org> c9100f1
> Simplify code in tag_files as TAGVER and TAG are mutually exclusive
> [...]

That can be because 'git rev-list', used to generate the changelog,
returns the commits ordered by commit date and not the AuthorDate
(and we want AuthorDate in the changelog)…

Does this work for anybody else? If so, what should I change?

Greets,
