My ack for Baruch's original patch, which AFAICT is identical with
Junio's suggestion, still stands. FWIW, I'm against Joe's suggestion of
stopping at a line matching /^---/, since it's not unlikely somebody
does something like

---- dmesg output ----
bla bla
----

in the commit message.

Since all lines (except for some of the diff header lines) in the patch
part begin with space, - or +, insisting on a the line starting with a
letter should be sufficient for excluding any random Foo-by lines that
may appear in the patch part.
