I must admit I didn't know about git2cl. The first difference I see is that it's simpler and has less dependencies: my script doesn't use any external modules (e.g. it doesn't parse the date) but just parses a formatted output from git-log.
Other than that, there's not much difference: my output is a bit sparser and my script invokes the proper git-log command by itself, so you don't have to pipe through it (i.e. all you do is git-changelog > ChangeLog to get your change log) but that's pretty much it.
If you want, you can have a look at it at git://vlinder.landheer-cieslak.com/git/git.git#topic/git-log-changelog
