I don't know what you mean by vc-start-entry.

That's why log-edit-mode provides C-c C-a to bring the ChangeLog entry
into the VC-Log buffer before committing.

I'd like to see C-x 4 a changed so that it can work without
a ChangeLog file.  E.g., it could add entries directly to *VC-Log*, or
maybe use some special file instead (so it can auto-save log comments
before in case you take a while writing them).
Patches welcome,
