This does not belong to the log message. Please write for those who only read "git log" output after the work is merged and nothing else. To them, errors in the previous attempt that was pointed out by reviewers and corrected in this version do not exist.

It is perfectly fine to write something like the above after the three-dash line. That is the place to clue reviewers about the context of this round, reminding what happend in the previous iteration and what the differences this round has, etc.

Thanks.
