I had a double take when I read this; I assume you're talking about the commit log at the top of the patch file, and your not talking about including modifications to the CHANGELOG file. Correct?
Yes, don't touch the CHANGELOG file - that gets automatically updated by WD. When you create the patch with git-format-patch, you need to edit that patchfile and insert a changelog description before sending it.
hehehe, that's a lot of work for a simple thing. Drop the git-commit -m flag and use -F instead to add the commit log from a file (or use neither and git-commit will bring up an editor). You can also use -s to add your signoff line too. Then the files generated by git-format-patch will already include commit log will already be in your patch file.
