Please that we no longer use ChangeLog, but that we place entries

If you look at the final commit, you'll see what I mean.

I see - neat idea about the ChangeLog. Can you still use 'C-x 4 a' from a buffer to help build the ChangeLog entries though which ultimately go
in the commit messages?  What's the workflow (sorry if this has been
discussed before)?

The workflow is to use magit, and the to press `C' at a snippet in the
magit status buffer.  This is equivalent to `C-x 4 a'.

Please make sure that

- the commit message still has a single first line, followed by a newline - after the newline, the ChangeLog entry should be placed, first line starting
  with a star, and no empty lines inside the block.
- After the ChangeLog block, and another empty line, you can add any free-form explanations you want - they will be discarded when building the ChangeLog file.
