You may also want remove the [ ] and use '--' instead:

  [PATCH 16/17] -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- sysfs: Provide write method for paravirt

Because if someone were to do a b4 pull it would strip out the text within
the brackets. Using -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- instead, would keep it in the
commit message. And then seeing that in the shortlog would be a really big
red flag ;-)

-- Steve

PS. I plan on changing my usages to use '--' instead of '[' ']'
