Hi,

I don't think it is a bug because it is true that update-changelog is
not implemented for the Git backend.  The header in "vc-git.el" says:

;; - update-changelog (files)                      COULD BE SUPPORTED

So it seems it could be done though.

FWIW, I don't think that the (require 'vc) is required 😁 and you don't
need to call vc-create-repo because 'C-x v v' will ask to if needed.
