Optional arg FILE-NAME specifies the file to use.
If FILE-NAME is nil, use the value of `change-log-default-name' if non-nil.

for a file named `ChangeLog' (or whatever we use on this operating system).
If FILE-NAME is nil, use the value of `change-log-default-name'.

\(or whatever we use on this operating system).
If 'change-log-default-name' contains a leading directory component, then

Once a file is found, `change-log-default-name' is set locally in the
current buffer to the complete file name."
