Re: File names in ChangeLog entries

   Do not use any of these formats:

       [not the full file name:]

           * tetris.el: Foo.

This one is correct _if_ there would have been a ChangeLog file in
lisp/play.  If changing the heuristics of how things are figured out
this needs to be considered so that doesn't break.

       [not supported by our tools - patches welcome:]

           * lisp/play/{tetris,morse}.el: Foo.

This is not a format that is encouraged by the GNU coding standards.
The reason is that it makes it impossible to search the file for
filenames.
