I personally just describe the changes in the cover letter. In fact, while not a lot of people do this, git-backport-diff (from https://github.com/codyprime/git-scripts.git) is a handy tool to show which patches changed since the previous version, and it only works if the change log is in the cover letter. Or you can stick --- in the commit log as you have found out - but that depends on the patch author being careful to log all edits. -- MST
