* If you are going to be changing many files in an experimental fashion,
it probably is a good idea to create a separate branch for your changes.
+* The ChangeLog entries should preferrably match in date format
+ with the existing entries. You can set how emacs does this
+ by using customize mode:
+
+ - M-x customize
+ - set Programming/Tools/ChangeLog/Add Log Time Format to
+ 'Old Format'
+
+ Or, set the add-log-time-format to 'current-time-string in
+ your .emacs file.
