Hitting 'C' on a hunk in the magit-diff buffer inserts a ChangeLog
heading into the COMMIT_EDITMSG buffer.

If there's only one function in the hunk, you get the "full" heading:

* foo.c (bar):

Otherwise you just get "* foo.c:", and you must go from function to
function and hit 'C' for magit to insert further "(bar):" headings.

Hopefully someone somewhere is yelling at their screen "WHAT NO THAT'S
NOT HOW YOU DO IT; YOU JUST HIT <something> AND MAGIT FILLS IN THE
COMMIT_EDITMSG BUFFER WITH ALL THE HEADINGS FOR ALL FILES AT ONCE!!1".
Hopefully they will also followup to this message :)
