See Documentation/SubmittingPatches:
14) The canonical patch format:

The canonical patch message body contains the following:

- A "from" line specifying the patch author.

- An empty line.

- The body of the explanation, which will be copied to the
permanent changelog to describe this patch.

- The "Signed-off-by:" lines, described above, which will
also go in the changelog.

- A marker line containing simply "---".

- Any additional comments not suitable for the changelog.

- The actual patch (diff output).

so just put whatever you want to be in the permanent SCM logs
into the "body of the explanation" part of the email.
