Either put this as part of patch description or if you don't want it
to be part of commit message, put it between --- and diffstat.
Unfortunately, no tool understands "-- >8 --".

git-am should. From "man git-am":

       -c, --scissors
           Remove everything in body before a scissors line (see git-
           mailinfo(1)).

From "man git-mailinfo":

       --scissors
           Remove everything in body before a scissors line. A line that
           mainly consists of scissors (either ">8" or "8<") and perforation
           (dash "-") marks is called a scissors line, and is used to request
           the reader to cut the message at that line. If such a line appears
           in the body of the message before the patch, everything before it
           (including the scissors line itself) is ignored when this option is
           used.

           This is useful if you want to begin your message in a discussion
           thread with comments and suggestions on the message you are
           responding to, and to conclude it with a patch submission,
           separating the discussion and the beginning of the proposed commit
           log message with a scissors line.

           This can enabled by default with the configuration option
           mailinfo.scissors.

But I can stop using scissors if that is what you prefer.

Heh, that's cute.  If git-am is happy, I'm happy too.  Thanks for
letting me know.

Thanks.
