I use it to store the patch comments (the part that goes after the
"---", before the diff) along with my commits so that I have them in my
git.git tree, not only in my mbox. This makes it also easier to redo a
patch and keep the comment when regenerating the patch e-mail with
format-patch. (I don't have a good solution for the cover letter yet.)
