Maybe you're right that it never happens with default settings if you don't
use PCL-CVS, but I'm not sure if it's relevant. Should the documentation
not talk about things that happen if you use PCL-CVS or if you change some
custom settings?
The PCL-CVS manual should talk about what happens if you use PCL-CVS.
The section in the Emacs manual documents VC with here and there some
xref's to the PCL-CVS manual.
As another remark on the recent changes in that node, the way C-c C-f
is explained is confusing to the user, because at that stage nothing
tells you how you could possibly commit more than one file at a time
and it is only explained later in the more specialized sections on VC
Dired. I propose to add some explanation.
The two changes in the patch to files.texi are independent. I could
install either or both.

When you check in changes, @kbd{C-x v v} first reads a log entry. It
pops up a buffer called @samp{*VC-Log*} for you to enter the log entry.
- Sometimes the @samp{*VC-Log*} buffer contains default text when you enter it,
- typically the last log message entered. If it does, mark and point
- are set around the entire contents of the buffer so that it is easy to
- kill the contents of the buffer with @kbd{C-w}.

@findex log-edit-insert-changelog
If you work by writing entries in the @file{ChangeLog}
(@pxref{Change Log}) and then commit the change under revision

In the @samp{*VC-Log*} buffer, @kbd{C-c C-f} (@kbd{M-x log-edit-show-files})
shows the list of files to be committed in case you need to check
! that.
When you have finished editing the log message, type @kbd{C-c C-c} to
exit the buffer and commit the change.
