There is one feature, add-change-log-entry has while vc-next-command has not: In the case of lisp files: a reference to the function or variable, you created or modified as in 2016-03-08 Uwe Brauer * gnus-init.el (gnus-user-format-function-G): Is inserted in the ChangeLog file. In the case of latex files the section and or equation are taken. I wish vc-next-command had such a functionality (either for git or hg at least).
