This commentary, which is not intended as part of the commit message,
normally goes below the '---' line after your sign-off just before the
diffstat. When the project maintainer applies a patch with git-am,
such commentary is stripped out automatically, otherwise he has to
strip it manually. (Alternately, you could use a -->8-- line to
separate the above commentary from the commit message.)
