When applying a patch, `git am` looks for special delimiter strings (such as "---") to know where the message ends and the actual diff starts. If one of these strings appears in the commit message itself, `am` might get confused and fail to apply the patch properly. This has already caused inconveniences in the past [1][2]. To help avoid such problem, let's make `git format-patch` warn on commit messages containing one of the said strings.
