I had a couple of cases where I didn't and still got failures. I tried
tweaking the b4 files in .local to match the updated subject to see if I
could convince it to proceed that way but no such luck.

In any case: I do modify subject and commit descriptions for a
substantial amount of the patches I apply. Lots of typos, missing scsi:
tag, wrong driver tag, excessively long lines, etc. I have a hook script
that does a bunch of sanity checking on each patch and won't let me
apply until all issues are addressed.

Sure. If you could still emit the %{summary} boilerplate with XXXXXXXX
as commit hash so it's easy to update afterwards, that would be great.

Thanks!
