This comes in handy if you want to post-process formatted patches.
One examplary use case would be removing ChangeIds, which are used
in Gerrit, a program sitting on top of Git, used for tracking
different versions of a patch.
Another use case would be checking if all your commits are signed off,
or have another kind of property.
So in my case a hook like the following will help a lot.
# Run with on formatted patches. The first argument is the filename to
the patch.
sed --in-place '/^Change-Id:/d' $1

Hi Git people,
I haven't sent a patch for some time now, but I intend to change that
soon, as I'll be overtaking the transactions series from Ronnie
Sahlberg.
The patch series I intend to overtake has been reviewed on this list
as well as https://code-review.googlesource.com/#/q/project:git
using Gerrit. Gerrit uses Change-Ids, which I want to reliably
remove before sending them on the list. And for reliability
you better trust a machine than a human like me.
