My work flow when fixing small bugs (and most of them are small bugs)
are:
1) fix the bug
2) `C-x 4 a', and write the bug entry
3) `M-x vc-dir RET'
4) Do something depending on what's shown in the vc-dir buffer, like
mark ChangeLog and the file in question, in case I have other changes
pending, which I often have
5) `='
6) `v'
7) `C-c C-a' to pull in the log
8) Remove the bit too much that `C-a C-a' pulled in, since I perhaps
just did another change to the same file.
9) Rewrite the entry to fit a commit; i.e., make a complete first
sentence that shows up as the summary
10) `C-c C-c'
11) Profit!
If we didn't have a ChangeLog, my work flow would be:
1) fix the bug
2) `C-x v ='
3) `C-x v v'
4) Write the entry
5) `C-c C-c'
Won't anybody think of the poor developers' fingers!
