If you put the "---" there are the beginning of your message,
the whole commit message is discarded by GIT.

I said you should put "---" at the end of the commit message,
when you want to add more side commentary that should not appear
in the commit message but is for people in this thread to read.

I fixed this up when adding your patch, but I have no idea why
you did this.  Please don't do it again.
