It looks like this has the same cause as http://debbugs.gnu.org/17884,
namely the fact that vc-next-action now calls log-edit with SETUP = t.
This runs log-edit-hook, which runs log-edit-insert-changelog, which
ends up running log-edit-changelog-entries, which visits the ChangeLog
files, even if they don't exist.

Perhaps log-edit-changelog-entries should not bother visiting
non-existent files. (Could it use invisible buffers?)
