Subject: bug#55039: [PATCH] Use VC-relative file names in ChangeLog entries
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 23:03:32 -0400

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider    ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,     ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

We used to have a ChangeLog file for each important directory
in Emacs (src, lisp, etc, lib-src, and so on).
I hope we still do, as a single ChangeLog for all of Emacs
would be very long and thus cumbersome.

In these ChangeLog files, we should delete the directory names which
are superfluous.  Thus, when generating src/ChangeLog, we should
delete `src/' from the start of the source file names in the entries.

Do we do that?

Would this patch require changes in that?
