You are right is seems to be a Emacs thing. I just repeated a commit for
git from the command line then
git log
does not show the the relevant changelog entry, but only the commit mesg.

However when I use emacs for the job (editing the ChangeLog and
commiting) both messages are displayed.


Sorry for the confusion. I have to dig into that further.
