Sure I agree, but out of curiosity how do you see those changes?

When I run

 git log

I only see one revision which BTW does not show the correct commit
message (see below), so maybe for obtaining the correct message finally
I have to give in and use a bit of git, namely 

git commit --amend

Yes there is

hg rebase --collapse

Basically I did all that (I am still using ChangeLog on a daily base)
but git log does not display the correct final commit message so I have
to fiddle around. And always when I commit emacs inserts the content of
the last ChangeLog message into the commit message using
log-edit-insert-changelog.

(I hope to solve this hg-git issue soon).

Ok, frankly I don't know the texi format very much.

Yep right.

Aha I have set it to nil. I did not know about it, ok I see that nil is
not good, not sure what I prefer, most likely as you
`right-edge'. Thanks for pointing that out. Very helpful.

Ah that is very good, I think it should be mentioned in the
documentation. I will do that.
