The updated patch does not use "reverse" but the old description
is still there.

Daniel, one thing I fear about your "I want to store the message
in the object store so that I can reuse even after I re-polish
the series" desire on the cover letter topic is this kind of
gotcha, and that is why I suggested "*** BLURB GOES HERE ***".
Both the summary (diffstat and shortlog) part and the
description part should be kept fresh in the updated 0/N; while
we can automate the summary part whenever we re-generate 0/N,
you cannot automate the description part.
