In a nutshell, could the emacs vc interface please support to commit
after a merge?
Hopefully it could, but that sounds non-trivial.
TBH I don't understand the reasons for your workflow, though. At least
over here in Git land, we separate merge commits and "normal" ones.
And only the "normal" ones get expanded message entries.
Background
In mercurial after a merge of two (named) branch one cannot run
hg commit -m 'merge from live' files1.txt files2.txt
abort: cannot partially commit a merge (do not specify files or
patterns)
But must do instead
hg commit -m 'merge from live'
Now the point is I would like to use the vc emacs interface for the
commit since I want to insert parts of the ChangeLog file.
IOW, I've never seen anybody do that with a merge commit.
