Sorry about that! Since it’s been a while since I posted a git patch to a 
mailing list, I had to figure out what the canonical format for an e-mail with 
a patch was, such that I could have a more verbose description of the problem 
followed by the usual git commit message. In the Documentation directory of the 
mainline Linux kernel tree I thought this is what they were recommending:

<message-body-start>
You can put a longer, more verbose description of the problem and the patch 
here. This section is not picked up by the tools committers use to extract the 
patch out of the e-mail.

- - -
Original git commit message, more concise, which will be used as the commit 
message in git
Signed-off-by: 
Reviewed-by:
- - -
diffstat

diff
- -
git version
<message-body-end>

Is that not correct?

Also couldn’t find the right command line options for any of the git helpers 
like format-patch or send-email to let it do the canonical formatting with the 
verbose description, so I edited the “git format-patch” generated file to 
conform with the above format.

Thanks for fixing it up!
