I hope I haven't caused Junio or anyone else undue trouble.
I know well how format-patch output can be used, but in the vast
majority of patch-including messages I send, I include format-patch
output mainly as an FYI, *following* commentary that does not
belong in the log, so it's ok there -- desirable, even.

I find it slightly backwards to have to put non-log (i.e, intro
commentary) *after* the real log, and that's why I've developed
this habit.

I'll try to remember to do it the other way when the
recipient is more likely to apply the patch.
