Ahh, I'll tell you my usual routine for reviewing patches, which will
probably explain why I didn't notice:

I first try to find the signature.  If there's anything not generated by
git(1) right below the "---" and before the list of files, I read that
first (of course after the Subject) --that's where I would have expected
your comment to go--.

Then I may have a fast look at the patch before applying it, especially
if I suspect I won't like it at a first glance.  But if I trust the
sender, I'll directly apply it; reading diffs in the email is not very
pleasant, and git will color it nicely for me.  And then I review the
patch as applied.

So, the only chance that I read personal messages like "This is just a
resend" or "I didn't provide the diff; apply the attachment" is putting
it there, right below the "---" that goes after your signature.  That
part is mostly ignored by git(1) --unless the content can be confused
with a patch, I guess--.

Okay; your prerogative.  Free Britney!  :-}

Cheers,
