True.

I did put it in, but "quilt refresh" took it out.

I send patches directly from my quilt patches directory.  The patches
file ends up being -exactly- the email message body.  I did put in a
"---", with a short comment about how this patch fit in with the
earlier ones of yesterday, and removed the "Index: " and "========="
lines that quilt adds.

But then I forgot and ran a "quilt refresh" before I sent the patch,
and it erased that "---" line and comments, and reestablished its
"Index: " and "=========" lines, as it always does.

Ideally either I should change my patch sending process, or I should
change quilt.  I don't know which yet.  Meanwhile, I am taking
advantage of the hack in your tools that filters out "Index: " lines.
