I suggest extending vc-dwim so that "vc-dwim --init" has the same effect that "git-changelog-symlink-init" does. This would simplify getting started.

The change was pushed to this commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/vc-dwim.git/commit/?id=722a0a54d94e8 I also pushed two other maintenance-style changes. ------------=_1429406162-4780-1 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Received: (at submit) by debbugs.gnu.org; 15 Apr 2015 21:38:37 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:57457 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV12-0005vA-Mu for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:37 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([208.118.235.92]:55386) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV10-0005uv-CQ for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:34 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV0u-0001wn-15 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:29 -0400 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on eggs.gnu.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.9 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2 Received: from lists.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::11]:35038) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV0t-0001wf-V6 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:27 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::10]:40640) by lists.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV0t-00079w-0y for bug-vc-dwim@gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:27 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV0n-0001vF-Rh for bug-vc-dwim@gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:26 -0400 Received: from smtp.cs.ucla.edu ([131.179.128.62]:44385) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1YiV0n-0001v8-MO for bug-vc-dwim@gnu.org; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:38:21 -0400 Received: from localhost (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by smtp.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id CEFEAA6000E for ; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:38:20 -0700 (PDT) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at smtp.cs.ucla.edu Received: from smtp.cs.ucla.edu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (smtp.cs.ucla.edu [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id cnQSiDukfKCB for ; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:38:18 -0700 (PDT) Received: from Penguin.CS.UCLA.EDU (Penguin.CS.UCLA.EDU [131.179.64.200]) by smtp.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id CE49CA60071 for ; Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:38:18 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <552EDA4A.80807@cs.ucla.edu> Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:38:18 -0700 From: Paul Eggert Organization: UCLA Computer Science Department User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.6.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: bug-vc-dwim@gnu.org Subject: Should be easier to start using vc-dwim Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: GNU/Linux 2.6.x X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: Error: Malformed IPv6 address (bad octet value).

I suggest extending vc-dwim so that "vc-dwim --init" has the same effect that "git-changelog-symlink-init" does. This would simplify getting started.
