As an experiment, this message has the range-diff at the end, not
before the primary part of the patch text. I think this format
should be easier to read for reviewers.
Huh, interesting. I do like that format better indeed. You did that
manually instead of using `--range-diff`, right?
Yes.
To me, "format-patch --range-diff" is a lot more cumbersome to use
than running "format-patch", open the result in Emacs, and then
doing "\C-u \M-! git range-diff ..." to insert its output, as I'll
be opening it in the editor for typofixes anyway.
