Subject: 29.1; log-edit clobbers global binding for C-a

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

log-edit-mode-map directly binds C-a to log-edit-beginning-of-line,
overwriting any local change a user has made.  This impacts me because I
have C-a bound to mark-whole-buffer, using <home> instead for
move-beginning-of-line.

The attached simple patch switches log-edit to use <remap> to achieve
the same goal.

Thanks, installed on master.

(I borked commit message by mistake: I didn't apply my edits to the
commit message before pushing.  Sorry about that.)
