It sets a variable on the ChangeLog buffer. The default of this
variable is `add-log-iso8601-time-string', at least for Emacs 20.
With this default setting, M-x add-change-log-entry will give me
a header of
1998-05-10 Martin von Loewis <martin@mira.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de>
*
I believe this default was chosen because ISO 8601 says it looks
better :-) With this setting, I get
Sun May 10 09:59:42 1998 Martin von Loewis <martin@mira.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de>
*
There is still some non-uniformity in the time formats, as some people
put the time zone in, and others don't (the Emacs ChangeLog mode
thinks that the time zone is part of the developer's name). However,
this difference is hardly noticable.
