It is probably more conventional to do it like so:
From: Florian Manschwetus <[email protected]>
Date: <original date of Florian's patch series>
http-backend reads whole input until EOF. However, the RFC 3875...
... chunked transfer-encoding.

I agree with Eric's suggestion. In-code comment is read by those
who have the current code, without knowing/caring what it used to
be. "It used to do this, but replace it with this new thing
because..." is a valuable thing to record in the log message, but
not here.
