nargery: Emacs and changelogs

I'm learning Emacs's source code control integration. Someone give me a clue here; the manuals aren't being very helpful. So, I update a file and I hit C-x 4 a, and it takes me to ChangeLog and fills in all the details so I can add a description.

1. What now? Isn't there a keypress where I can check in all the modified files, including ChangeLog, using the comment I just added?

2. Does C-x 4 a go through and diff all the files in the directory, or just the current buffer? If just the current buffer, is there a way of doing all of them?

Thanks, lazyweb.

[ETA: Some projects just require log comments in the checkin comment for each file. That's not the way most GNOME projects work: you need to add the comment to the file ChangeLog, and check in both the ChangeLog AND the changed file(s) simultaneously using the same comment. I'm sure I remember Emacs supporting this.)
