A patched version of that macro has been submitted to SF some time ago
(#749533), which will do pretty much what you request AFAICT:
http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=749533&group_id=10072&atid=310072

Note though that you will lose some of the original functionality when you
replace the original with the patched macro, most notably the ability to
update an existing ChangeLog (i.e. the log will always be refetched
completely). I will very probably incorporate this patch at some point but
the current state of the patched macro also does several things I do not
quite agree with (also see the discussion accompanying the patch).

Hope this helps.
