`after` and `before` options treat certain semver version numbers as date about grunt-changelog

The main problem why this task is created still exists. It worked for 2 versions but now I get the error again:

Running "changelog:release" (changelog) task
FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - process out of memory

Unfortunately there's no error line specified. All I can say so far is that I want to make release "version": "2.6.19" and the node/iojs process peaked up to 1.2GB in RAM when doing the changelog thingy.

I found out why, git log seems to like to page every output and sometimes has a END character which can be quit via q. To solve this you can add a --no-pager argument to the git log (continue here for further reading). It'll look for example like this:

git --no-pager log 2.6.17..HEAD --pretty="%h - %ad: %s" --no-merges --date=short

The --no-pager has to be in front of the log.

Just tried to reproduce that on my machine (running git version 2.3.4 on Mac OS 10.9.5) and I had no problem with that. So it might be a windows problem.

Will add that to the Pull request #52 for the windows users out there 💩

Update. I can reproduce that problem with longer changelogs 😳

So thanks for reporting that one 👍 @krnlde
