You'd normally do the ChangeLog, then cut-and-paste that entry into
the CVS commit log on commit.

The reason for the ChangeLog is that it gives you a record of changes
you can use offline, and it's a convenient single file to be grepped,
etc.

In Emacs, use 'C-x 4 a' to write the entries, which makes it very
convenient. This goes up the directory tree from your current file,
and adds a blank entry to the first ChangeLog it finds for the current
file/function.
