Aha. So one idea would be to redefine this function to do nothing
for ChangeLog files.
Another idea would be to do it the other way round: with C-x 4 a,
make some ChangeLog entries. Then use PCL-CVS which parses the
ChangeLog file and offers those entries as commit entries.
I like this approach because C-x 4 a is so smart: based on the
position of the cursor, it already finds the right function name (or
section name, for LaTeX files). Nifty. (C-x 4 a also works in diff
buffers -- super-nifty.)
