[JENKINS-4162] Changelog empty when building new branch

New jobs or jobs that have been reconfigured to point to a different branch

always show an empty changelog for the first build. It would be more useful to

report the changes since the branch was created instead.

I've linked this bug to subcomponent "subversion", but it might be true for

other VCS's also.
