Added --sloppy option

[shilman]

The --sloppy option allows you to create a CHANGELOG without checking your local state. This is useful for the first-time user experience when, for example, you might be editing your CHANGELOG in a non-master branch for feedback (e.g. storybookjs/storybook#1047)

NOTE: I couldn't get the code coverage to work properly. The test runner says I am at 100% coverage, but the coverage test still fails. Any help would be much appreciated here!

Thanks for this Pull Request @shilman. This looks definitely like a useful addition.

Regarding the coverage, on travis-ci everything seems to work correctly, I’ve also checked out your branch locally and it works fine for me as well.
Do you have the correct dependencies installed? Because this project uses a forked version of istanbul-api which fixes this bug.
However this reminds me that I should change the setup to use nyc instead which is not affected by the bug mentioned above. I hope I find some time for this in the next days.

@lo1tuma OK i didn't have the right version of istanbul installed. Somehow yarn doesn't like that version format, but when I installed with npm it worked fine. So I think this is safe to merge.

(though happy to make changes if you see anything you don't like! 😄 )

BTW, inspired/super-impressed with your 100% test coverage 🙇

Thanks a lot 👍 .
