bug#70331: [PATCH] Call custom folding functions with consistent point

[Paul Nelson]

Hi Arash,

OK, I think I understand.  Just to be sure: your workflow is to edit a
"dummy" ChangeLog file while preparing a commit (in the auctex folder,
so that the .dir-locals.el are in effect), then copy this into the
actual commit message (in vc.el or magit) and delete the leading tabs?

Thanks, best,

Paul
