Looking at the vc.el code, there is the following comment which may
allow you to accomplish effectively the same thing although in the
reverse order (commit and then update changelog)?

;; If your site uses the ChangeLog convention supported by Emacs, the

(untested)

but I may have completely misunderstood your question and, if so,
apologies for the noise!

Agreed.  Also, mousing over the folded text shows the unfolded text in
the minibuffer.

All the best,

[O] add-change-log-entry for orgfiles, header

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I have a couple of org files under VC (HG).
For lisp and latex files my workflow is as follows


-  add-change-log-entry, which adds a nice reference like
* emacs_keys.el ([(control super b)]): New:
(global-set-key [(control super b)] 'ahg-heads)


-  then call vc-next-action which offers to insert the recent added
   entry of the Changelog file.

-  Long time ago Carsten Dominik wrote some addons for latex files
   so that references to sections are inserted in a ChangeLog file.

Could there be such an extension for orgmode to get an entry such as
2016-10-14  Uwe Brauer  

* remember.org * Sun Sep 25 19:03:04 2016 (HG): undo strip.

Or what ever value the header has.

Regards

Uwe Brauer 

[O] How to export tables to files from elips?

[Pierre-Henry Frohring]

Hi list!

Is there a way `f' such that `(f filename)' exports tables in the file
`filename'
to corresponding files as described by TABLE_EXPORT_FILE property?

For context:
https://github.com/phfrohring/org-to-blog/blob/c1312aeff1c097c3761d0b6bc84d3bb89edf2df4/org_to_blog.el#L87

Thx!

As do I.  I guess this is a key part of this use case: it must be easy
to find those notes.  My (abridged) capture template looks like this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq org-capture-templates
'(
  ("m" "Mail options")
  ("mt" "mailtodo"
   entry (file+datetree "~/s/notes/tasks.org")
   "* TODO %^{Task} : %:subject %^G\nSCHEDULED: %t\n- From :: %:from\n- 
Subject :: %:subject\n- Email :: %a\n\n%?" :kill-buffer t)
  ("mn" "mailnote"
   entry (file+headline "~/s/notes/notes.org" "general notes and tasks")
   "* %^{Title} : %:subject %^G\n- From :: %:from\n- Subject :: 
%:subject\n- Email :: %a\n\n%?\n\n%U")
  ))
#+end_src

Tag search etc. in org makes finding the notes relatively painless.  

As a bonus, the "mt" template is to allow me to get to INBOX 0 by making
sure I don't leave emails lying around unread or ticked.  If they need
further processing, an appropriate TODO task is created which links back
to the email.  This task is scheduled for immediate action by default
but obviously easily changed during the capture, very often by
unscheduling but adding a deadline, for instance.
