Sometimes a commit should have notes enclosed with it rather
than withing the cover letter -- possibly even because there
is no cover letter. Add a 'Commit-notes' tag, similar to the
'Series-notes' one; lines between this tag and the next END
line are inserted in the patch right after the '---' commit
delimiter.

(Updated README)
This comment is less than helpful. Since multiple tags are supported, add
an example of how multiple tags work.

At present something like:
Revert "arm: Add cache operations"
will try to use
Revert "arm
as a tag. Clearly this is wrong, so fix it.
If the revert is intended to be tagged, then the tag can come before
the revert, perhaps. Alternatively the 'Cc' tag can be used in the commit
messages.

What is this?
=============
This tool is a Python script which:
- Creates patch directly from your branch
- Cleans them up by removing unwanted tags
- Inserts a cover letter with change lists
- Runs the patches through checkpatch.pl and its own checks
- Optionally emails them out to selected people
It is intended to automate patch creation and make it a less
error-prone process. It is useful for U-Boot and Linux work so far,
since it uses the checkpatch.pl script.
It is configured almost entirely by tags it finds in your commits.
This means that you can work on a number of different branches at
once, and keep the settings with each branch rather than having to
git format-patch, git send-email, etc. with the correct parameters
each time. So for example if you put:
in one of your commits, the series will be sent there.
See the README file for full details.
