`gitlog-to-emacslog` is used only to build the release tarballs, not
during a normal build, so it's OK for it to fail when Git fails, and
it's not OK for it to generate an empty ChangeLog.

Which points out that maybe instead of changing `gitlog-to-auctexlog`
it'd be easier to change the `make` rule so it doesn't build
`ChangeLog` (and have another rule that does build `ChangeLog` for
those cases where it's important).
