I think we need something that will generate, from the repo, the list
of entities changed -- reliably enough that errors are rare and not a
problem.

As for the descriptions of the changes in each entity, that is important
when the change in an entity is complex enough to want description.
We could put that sort of info in commit messages, by saying something
about how the change works.
