Severity: wishlist
pcl-cvs has a function `cvs-mode-add-change-log-entry-other-window',
bound to the `A' key, which creates basic ChangeLog entries for all
marked files in the *cvs* buffer.
It would be nice if vc-dir could have something similar.

FWIW (as PCL-CVS maintainer), this command was inherited from the
original PCL-CVS and has always caused me trouble and never seemed to do
anything sufficiently valuable to deserve the time I invested in it.
The support for C-x 4 a in diff-mode OTOH is one that I keep cherishing.

Admittedly, the only time I find it useful is when I have modified a
bunch of files, and want to give them all a common ChangeLog entry,
rather than creating an individual entry for each.

I find C-x 4 A in diff-mode more useful for creating a skeleton
ChangeLog, but it has quirks :-(

Indeed, I think C-x 4 A in diff-mode is a better solution than
cvs-mode-add-change-log-entry-other-window, despite some quirks.

PS: Regarding C-x 4 A quirks: it would be good to report tham as bugs,
so we can collect them to help improve the behavior (it's largely
a simple heursitic right now, and maybe some other simple heuristic
would work better, or maybe we can spice up that heuristic).

I think the conclusion here is that `C-x 4 A' covers the needs here, so
I'm closing this bug report.
