Description BJ Burg 2020-03-16 11:44:06 PDT

When committing to WebKit's git-svn repository, I find it desirable to fill in template bug description with bug information (i.e., radar title and link) that's computed by another script. This is currently not possible because 'Need the bug URL (OOPS!)' is always present even if --description is passed:

midnight:OpenSource bburg$  prepare-ChangeLog --description="Spongebob is the best" -g head~1 --no-write
  Running status to find changed, added, or removed files.
  Reviewing diff to determine which lines changed.
  Extracting affected function names from source files.
  Change author: dpino@igalia.com <dpino@igalia.com@268f45cc-cd09-0410-ab3c-d52691b4dbfc>.

        Spongebob is the best
        Need the bug URL (OOPS!).

        Reviewed by NOBODY (OOPS!).

To get around this, I propose either:
- adding a --no-bug option, which suppresses this line
- suppressing the line if --description is passed without --bug

Clarification: I care about the bug title, not the actual description with the file changes.
