My understanding is that ChangeLog entry should be copied at the end
of commit log

Each entry in ChangeLog describes the changes to the code,

IMO, error messages are out of the scope of what ChangeLog is intended
to describe. Also, I've never seen such ChangeLog entry (with error
messages) before.
