[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

I have grown into the habit of writing ChangeLog entries while writing
code, and then using them for the commit message when I commit, pressing
C-c C-a in the log buffer.  This works great, except when I'm committing
a single file.  In that case, log-edit strips the file name from the
changelog entry, but as the version control systems I use are
changeset-based rather than file-based, I would like the file name to
stay.

I've been using the attached patch for a while with good results.

Magnus
