BTW, Junio, I remember discussion a long time ago about doing:

  cover letter
  -- >8 --
  commit
  ---
  diff

versus

  commit
  ---
  cover letter
  diff

and I recall that you did not have a strong preference. I have started
using the former, as I find it a bit more convenient to write (and I
think it is more readable when you are following up a discussion rather
than writing a real cover letter or commenting on the patch).
Yeah, and it is not too inconvenient to trim it off if you use "am -i"
or "commit --amend".  An added bonus is unlike the "top-post" style, the
cover material is available when editing the final log message, so I
actually slightly prefer "cover -- >8 -- log --- patch" myself.
