I agree with Julia that they are not needed here but they also don't hurt
anything.  git format-patch (or b4 etc) add another '---' to the commit
message automatically.

So assuming you had something like ...

<quote>
----
changes in v2:
	edit commit message
</quote>

... in the patch commit message.  That is perfectly ok and I would not
worry about the tools adding a second '---'.

But as Julia said you must make sure to have only 3 '-'s.  :-D
