Kind of a side track but...

I think it's up to the caller of git-am to use "--scissors" to cut the log? But maybe we could add an option to git-format patch which formats and cuts via scissors as it generates the message? Not sure the best way to interpret this, but I know I've had trouble where I wrote some notes into an email and lost it because I killed the email for some other edit. Keeping them inside my local commits before sending out email would be handy.. hmmmm

Regards, Jake
