*shrug* ... i dont see other patches with things like:
The patch was generated with git.
The patch was generated with eclipse.
The patch was generated with emacs.
etc...

we dont generally list all of the tools in the log message that was
used in *creating* a patch since it doesnt really add any value when
looking back historically at changes.
