In the past with git send-email directly I'd edit the patch file and add some text under the "---" manually but wasn't aware you can put it directly in the commit message. But I guess if it produces the same output either way it makes sense. I won't have a problem with pull requests since I'm just a normal patch submitter ;) Thanks for the advice! Regards Luca > > Rob
