The ChangeLog should contain what we decide it should contain.
The "git log" should contain what we decide it should contain.
So it's actually easy to make sure "git log" gives the same info: just
decide that it should be so (and try to enforce it).
In Emacs we indeed decided that it should be so and we make an effort to
enforce it. The only thing really missing to get rid of the remaining
differences is a way to fix "git log" errors (typo and omissions,
typically) after the fact.
