Subject: meaning of --8<--
Message-ID: <200901181656.37813.markus.heidelberg@web.de>

Hi,

I've seen lines like "--8<--" several times on this list, but have no
clue what it is about. OK, seems like it's used to insert diffs in the
middle of a mail message.
But is this a common convention or git specific and handled by git-am?
Is it documented anywhere?

Markus
