It seems there is a misunderstanding :)

When I say "comments after ---", by "comments" I mean whatever
discussion that should not be recorded in git.  What should be recorded
in git (which includes the detailed changelog "* Makeconf: Remove
references" etc.) should go before ---.

I.e., when submitting a revised patch, either separate the discussion
part and the patch itself in separate mails, or keep them in just one
mail, but put the changelog of the patch before ---, and put the reply
to the discussion after the --- (yes it looks odd to human eyes, but
that's the way git am eats it).
