This is not a real ChangeLog, see other entries plus:
	http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Change-Logs

BTW it is better not to modify the ChangeLog file(s) itself but write is as
a text along the patch, the repository ChangeLog file(s) as constantly
changing.

Your ChangeLog should have been, including the spacing:

gdb/
2012-07-21  Nathaniel Flath  <flat0103@gmail.com>

	* NEWS: New entry for 'cd' default parameters.
	* cli/cli-cmds.c (cd_command): Replace error_no_arg by DIR assignment.

doc/
2012-07-21  Nathaniel Flath  <flat0103@gmail.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (Working Directory): <FIXME>

But the doc patch part does not seem to be right to me (although authoritative
is Eli).  I would probably create a new entry besides 'cd DIRECTORY' and 'pwd'
also 'cd' (without DIRECTORY).  Or one can modify 'cd DIRECTORY'
to be 'cd [DIRECTORY]' instead.

I guess Tom assumes no FSF copyright assignment is needed for this patch, Tom?


Thanks,
