The following description uses bound branches, presumably it works in
a similar way with unbound ones.
-0) (First time only) Get the bzr changelog_merge plugin
-(this will be included by default in bzr 2.4 onwards):
+0) (This step is only necessary if using bzr older than 2.4.0.)
+Get the bzr changelog_merge plugin:
cd ~/.bazaar/plugins

-to the top of the file, rather than trying to fit them in mid-way

-with changes to *old* ChangeLog entries, that should not be floated to
-the head of the file (see launchpad#723968).

Maybe the default Emacs behavior without this plugin is better,
though, it's not clear yet.
