I had asked if there was some way the remote branch name could
automatically be inserted by git format-patch, instead of manually adding
it in the patch message or in a cover letter. What Jeff suggested seems
good to me (of using --subject-prefix) as that is removed automatically
when the patch is applied by git am.
