  Manually with git commit --amend.

  There is no way AFAIK to ensure consistency between the patch changelog 
and the -v option you pass to send-email/format-patch. There are a few 
tools like topgit and guilt that are supposed to make it easier to manage 
a patch with changelog, but I found them difficult to use.
