Ah, right.  Has anybody done any ChangeLog/vc log integration?  I mean,
if I'm checking in a change set that includes the ChangeLog, then it
would make sense to default the text to text extracted from the
ChangeLog.

That is, if the ChangeLog text about to be checked in is:

-------
2010-08-29  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@gnus.org>

	* gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Ensure that the directory
	where the dribbel file lives exists.
-------

then the vc log buffer could be populated with:

-------
Ensure that the directory where the dribble file lives exists.
-------

(Note how the code also fixed up the typo automatically.  :-)
