** Generating ChangeLog entries
- You can use Emacs functions to write ChangeLog entries; see
- If you use Emacs VC, you can use 'C-c C-w' to generate formatted
blank ChangeLog entries from the diff being committed, then use
'M-q' to combine and fill them. See 'info "(emacs) Log Buffer"'.
- Alternatively, you can use Emacs functions for ChangeLog files; see
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Change-Log-Commands.html
or run 'info "(emacs)Change Log Commands"'.
- If you use Emacs VC, one way to format ChangeLog entries is to create
a top-level ChangeLog file manually, and update it with 'C-x 4 a' as
usual. Do not register the ChangeLog file under git; instead, use
'C-c C-a' to insert its contents into your *vc-log* buffer.
Or if 'log-edit-hook' includes 'log-edit-insert-changelog' (which it
does by default), they will be filled in for you automatically.
