+ If you work by first writing entries in the @file{ChangeLog}
+(@pxref{Change Log}) and afterwards committing the change under revision
control, you can generate the Log Edit text from the ChangeLog using
@kbd{C-c C-a} (@kbd{log-edit-insert-changelog}). This looks for
entries for the file(s) concerned in the top entry in the ChangeLog
convenient to specify the same log entry for many of the files. (This
is the normal way to do things on a changeset-oriented system, where
comments are attached to changesets rather than the history of
-individual files.) The most convenient way to do this is to mark all the
+individual files.) The most convenient way to do this is to mark all the
files in VC-Dired mode and check in from there; the log buffer will
carry the fileset information with it and do a group commit when you
confirm it with @kbd{C-c C-c}.
@kindex C-x v g
For some back ends, you can display the file @dfn{annotated} with
per-line revision information and using colors to enhance the visual
-appearance, with the command @kbd{M-x vc-annotate}. It creates a new
+appearance, with the command @kbd{M-x vc-annotate}. This creates a new
buffer (the ``annotate buffer'') displaying the file's text, with each
part colored to show how old it is. Text colored red is new, blue means
old, and intermediate colors indicate intermediate ages. By default,
the color is scaled over the full range of ages, such that the oldest
changes are blue, and the newest changes are red.

+arguments using the minibuffer: the ID of which revision to display and
annotate (instead of the current file contents), and the time span in
days the color range should cover.
