Subject: feature proposal? add-change-log-entry does not find the ChangeLog file: change-log-directory-files
Date: Tue, 04 Sep 2018 12:34:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874lf5ft4f.fsf@mat.ucm.es> (raw)


Hi 

My problem is, if I am in a subdirectory of my mercurial (or git)
repository and run add-change-log-entry, does not open the ChangeLog
file in the «root» directory but tries to open the none existing
ChangeLog file in the current subdirectory, which I don't want.

Any ideas how to deal with this situation?


I tried to set 

,----
[+]
| change-log-directory-files is a variable defined in ‘add-log.el’.
| Its value is (".bzr" ".git" "../.hg" ".hg" ".svn")
| Original value was 
| (".bzr" ".git" ".hg" ".svn")
`----

Did not help. Is this feature not implemented? By this I mean: suppose
in a directory under VC, there is only one ChangeLog file in the root
directory, then if I call add-change-log-entry there is no way to tell
emacs that he only looks for that file?

Thanks
