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.
