So this is how it should looks like? For example:
--------
* lisp/textmodes/bib-mode.el (mark-bib): Remove unnecessary call to the (point) function from (push-mark).

* lisp/simple.el (mark-whole-buffer, yank): Remove unnecessary call to the (point) function from (push-mark).
--------
etc.?

I didn’t knew about this command! It’s awesome - thank you. However it isn’t breaking my lines when
longer than 78 characters. :( I have tried from both - calling directly from the function source code
and from the magit’s staged changes.

I have read on orgmode's page a bit more about working with ChangeLog but couldn’t find the answer

When on my feature branch: git format-patch master (same story for git format-patch -1)
