It is bound to `C-x 4 A'. If, for some reason, I have many diffs in a file, I would like this to wait for me typing a log entry (if any) before inserting yet another entry. Currently, if I am doing C-x 4 A with my emacs.el file, it ends up with something like: 2008-03-23 Xavier Maillard * emacs.el: * emacs.el (Man-mode-hook): * emacs.el (lambda): * emacs.el (kbd): * emacs.el (kbd): * emacs.el (dired-mode-hook): * emacs.el (dired-mode-hook): * emacs.el (mm-body-charset-encoding-alist): * emacs.el: * emacs.el (emacs-lisp-mode-hook): * emacs.el (vc-diff-other-window): * emacs.el: * emacs.el: So there are many "duplicate" and useless entries. A better approach would have to split the window with on one side, the diff entry and on the other side, the changelog buffer. This way I could review better my change and add an accurate and informative change message. --------------------------------- | Diff buffer | Change log buffer| ---------------------------------- | a diff => description | ---------------------------------- If changelog could not find an accurate function/variable name to put into parenthesis, then fail back to the "default" emacs.el entry.
