To easily add a description to each of your patches is by doing an interactive rebase (details in [1]). $ git rebase -i HEAD~6 * this will pop-up your favorite editor * each line starts with word 'pick' * replace it with letter 'r' * close the editor git will open the editor for each change and let you enter a description. After that you can recreate your patches. $ git format-patch --subject-prefix="PATCH v3" --cover-letter -s -M -6 I always give the -M to catch renames and -s to add signed-off-by. Hope this helps.
