`changelog-check` unnecessarily checks out a new copy of the repo
@cryptodev-2s is already working on this.

Assessment
This issue has not been assessed yet.
Description
The changelog-check action creates a second copy of the repo being checked, to use as a point of comparison. This seems unnecessary (git can compare across refs, and even show file contents across refs), and makes the script much more difficult to run locally, and makes it slower.
We should update it to operate on a single copy of the repository.
