Thanks - that's exactly the kind of solution I was seeking!

I've rectified the entry in ChangeLog.2. I also included a few references
to the CONTRIBUTE file in the GitForEmacsDev
<http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GitForEmacsDevs> page, as you suggested. I
don't know that it will be clear to every developer who visits that page,
but I think the clue is more available than it was before.
