Hey Dean, I ran into this while updating ANGLE, which produces large patches. Can you take a look?

This change allows webkit-patch upload to continue past > + the failure. Could you please elaborate on why it's acceptable to continue past this failure? Seems like we should make a decision for how many files we want to put into ChangeLog (too many is impractical), but that's a check that would be made at a different level in the code.

I updated the patch to fix the failure by splitting the command line, instead of ignoring the failure. PTAL
The patch touches prepare-Changelog and its SVN parts. Changelogs are not used anymore. SVN is not used anymore. Currently it's hard to reproduce the solved issue since there's no test infra for prepare-ChangeLog and the patch doesn't add a test. Currently we haven't seen issues updating ANGLE. The prepare-ChangeLog might be still used and it might have the same issue if a git patch has too many files changed. However, since this patch hasn't received review in 3 years and we haven't seen the issues, maybe it's ok to re-solve this issue when it resurfaces.
