Sorry, I forgot the obligatory clarification for new contributors.

This project gives all contributors a chance to pretend to be a
"perfect human".  When sending an updated patch (or patch series),
contributors are encouraged to hide^W correct their earlier mistakes
and present a perfect logical progression that they (would have, if
they were perfect) followed to arrive at a perfect end result.

So, instead of having step 1 that uses --committable without
justifying why it was chosen, and then change mind in step 2 to
replace it with --modified, have a single patch that uses
--modified, and explain in the proposed log message that
--committable and --modified may be possibilities, and why the patch
chose to use the latter.  The resulting history without a flip-flop
in the middle is easier to use by future developers to understand
the reasoning behind each change.

Thanks.
