The workflow is to use magit, and the to press `C' at a snippet in the
magit status buffer. This is equivalent to `C-x 4 a'.
Please make sure that
- the commit message still has a single first line, followed by a
newline
- after the newline, the ChangeLog entry should be placed, first line
starting
with a star, and no empty lines inside the block.
- After the ChangeLog block, and another empty line, you can add any
free-form
explanations you want - they will be discarded when building the
ChangeLog file.
