You may have trouble getting patches merged with duplicate commit logs like this. The reason is that
the git index should be grep'able. You may like to squash all of these commits into a single patch
since they all do the same thing. The mantra is 'one thing per patch' so this makes sense in this
case.

Hope this helps,
Tobin.
