summaries in git add --patch

I just implemented a command to give a brief summary
of the patches in the current file.  Please note that
I am just rediscovering perl after having abandoned it
years ago, so any criticism is appreciated. 5 patches
to follow.  (From aa14a0c3f)

Here's a screen shot:

Good idea.

Side note: you should signoff your patches, following
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.  And it would be better
if the patches itself were either threaded, or all be
replies to this cover letter ([PATCH 0/5]) email.

I hope that contrary to this 'screenshot' actual output is aligned
properly...

That of course assumes that summary catches right thing; still
it is better than nothing.

Same here.
