Right.  And that's really my goal here -- eliminate the manual steps.  Ideally I
want to be able to git am; git push on a good patch.  Manual steps for good
patches need to be excised from the workflow.  The ChangeLog file is a major
problem in that regard.

I read them less and less.  At this point I think I read them to see if a
particular patch in my queue has already been applied.  Otherwise I'm using the
git info.
