Can you briefly describe what you changed in v7 and v8, both compared to
earlier versions and between v7 and v8?
It would be very nice if you could always include such a "patch
changelog" after the "---" above. git-am will ignore the text between
"---" and the diff, so you can write comments for the reviewers there
without creating noise in the commit message.
Also, please keep reviewers in the Cc list for future discussion/patches
so that they will see them.
