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.
