vc-dwim is a version-control-agnostic ChangeLog diff and commit tool.
vc-chlog is a ChangeLog writing helper tool.
It is useful if you like to maintain a ChangeLog file describing
the changes you make to version-controlled files. vc-dwim works with
the following version control systems: git, mercurial, bzr, svn, cvs,
and darcs. It should be easy to add support for more.
What can vc-dwim do?
====================
vc-dwim can save you from making some small mistakes when using
version control programs from the command line.
For example, if you have unsaved changes in an editor buffer and use
vc-dwim to print diffs or to commit changes involving that file, it will
detect the problem, tell you about it, and fail. This works as long as
you use Emacs or Vim.
Another common error you can avoid with this tool is the one where you
create a new file, add its name to Makefiles, etc., mention the addition
in a ChangeLog, but forget to e.g., "git add" (or "hg add", etc.) the
file to the version control system. vc-dwim detects this discrepancy
and fails with a diagnostic explaining the probable situation. You might
also have simply mistyped the file name in the ChangeLog.
Also, vc-dwim makes it a little easier/safer to commit a strict subset
of the modified files in a working directory. But no one ever does *that*.
