            Bug ID: 209143
           Summary: prepare-changeLog should support bug descriptions
                    generated by external tools
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: bburg at apple.com

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.

        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
