When you check in changes, @kbd{C-x v v} first reads a log entry. It
pops up a buffer called @samp{*VC-Log*} for you to enter the log entry.
When you are finished, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the @samp{*VC-Log*} buffer.
That is when check-in really happens.

shows the list of files to be committed in case you need to check
that.
When you have finished editing the log message, type @kbd{C-c C-c} to
exit the buffer and commit the change.
To abort check-in, just @strong{don't} type @kbd{C-c C-c} in that
buffer. You can switch buffers and do other editing. As long as you
