Doesn't sound too bad.  Just try and make sure the log-edit part of the
code is as clean as possible (i.e. modify hack-dir-local-variables or
provide a wrapper or a different function if extra work is needed), so
we have a clear path to add that functionality on other codes
(e.g. vc-dir, diff-mode, ...).
