I assume this particular bug (the one that blocks a release) has been fixed, so 
I'll close the bug report. If I haven't actually fixed it please feel free to 
reopen it. We do have the more-general problem that ChangeLog maintenance is a 
pain, but that should be a different bug as it does not block a release.

Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.90

I don't know how y'all plan to address the issue of running make
change-history on the release branch (bug#21998), but now it doesn't
work on either emacs-25 or master. On both branches,
change-history-nocommit fails with "fatal: Invalid revision range". Eg:

  GEN      ChangeLog
fatal: Invalid revision range
