Hi Eric,

How do you carry the Change list for each patch brought in with 'git am' i.e.
v2,v3 when you have updates that need respin?  Do you just update that manually
on the .patch files after 'git format-patch'?

I found and tried `git notes` recently which seems to be meant for this.

   Notes can also be added to patches prepared with git format-patch by
   using the --notes option. Such notes are added as a patch commentary
   after a three dash separator line.

However, I found the notes get lots pretty easily during rebases and would not
survive a 'git am'.

I am sure many have their own methods that work.  So far I have been doing
manually just updating the .patch files after 'format-patch'.
