And in the cases where some extra context is desirable (for example, if you're replying to a message about an issue and want to include a patch to fix that issue), such text can be added after the --- that git adds, just before the diffstat. This text won't be processed by git am / git apply, but can be useful to those following the thread or the folks maintaining the git repo to which you are submitting a patch. Of course, to do that, you generally skip using git send-email and just drop the contents of format-patch into your MUA (we're all using sane mail clients that don't mangle line breaks, tabs/spaces, etc., right? ;). -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If quitters never win, and winners never quit, then who is the fool who said "Quit while you're ahead?"
