The usual way to include a cover letter in a patch is either: Subject: [PATCH] commit message subject commit message --- your cover letter diffstat + diff or (and I often use this in a reply where it makes sense to read the cover letter first): Subject: Re: your mail cover letter -- >8 -- (any visual separator that is _not_ "---") commit message subject commit message --- diffstat + diff In the second case, I believe Junio just manually deletes everything above the separator. > +See Also > +-------- > +'git-patch-id(1)':: > + The mechanism git-cherry uses to compare changesets. > + This should be linkgit:git-patch-id[1]:: which will turn it into the text you wrote for a manpage, or a link in the HTML version.
