I'd love to. There are some obstacles, tho:
- make "C-x 4 a" work for such uses.
- figure out how to generate good quality ChangeLog files (we should
probably keep the current ChangeLogs and only auto-generate entries
for the new commits, since some of the past commit messages aren't as
good as the ChangeLog).
- figure out how to handle errors in commit messages: apparently Bzr is
unlikely to support editing its commit logs much before hell freezes
over, so we'll have to hack something on top of Bzr on our side.

log-edit lets you drag the ChangeLog entry into the *VC-Log* buffer, so
it's usually not too painful, but yes, it's inconvenient, especially
when merging branches.
