Yes, my first approach just selects the "closest" ChangeLog.

Yes, this will indeed open up for more choices. So:

A label and a button:

The label will state what ChangeLog is currently chosen and will
default to the local one.
The button will bring up a dialog allowing the user to choose between
ChangeLogs (existing  and to be created) in each directory upwards.

Also a per project/solution configuration could then define whether
the default ChangeLog should always be the local (existing or to be
created) or the closest existing one (if any).
