IIRC, it was as a marker, I only wanted one of them, and didn't feel like debugging logic to find the project root by other means. The point in mentioning it here is that there are trivial hacks that don't require any changes to add-change-log-entry. > Or use any other file name (if you don't want to see ChangeLog for > some reason): the Change Log mode can be turned on in any file, > regardless of its name. As above, it was important (maybe only to my paranoia) that ChangeLog be present in the directory but not be a readable file. > For that matter, why not reuse .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG? Caution. Who knows what else git might be using it for? Or maybe I just didn't know that was the name of the editmsg file at that time -- it was a long time ago.
