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 * 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 * 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. Martin
