If you could make the default add-change-log-entry-other-window to
mention the arch-tag (if available at the end of the file), I think
your life and ours will be much easier.  This would require changes to
add-log.el though.

I love the idea of a general identifier for all files in the VCS.
That makes the CVS annoyance of directory mis-management much easier
to reconcile with TLA.  Thanks for helping with all the Gnus <-> Emacs
sync issues.
