Then do I repeat the same text in the commit? Or cut the commit down?
Doesn't that just take away information from the commit which will
show up in git blame?
Having a cover letter is a good default, and required if the series

change and a bunch of loose conversions. More sample users than
meaningful part.
LMK what your preference for splitting this info is, I'm unsure.
