Generally, just paste the ChangeLog text directly into the email with the patch following below. Don't send diffs to the ChangeLog. They apply so rarely.
Can this be added to documentation somewhere, like at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/> in the "Request an Enhancement" or "Report a Bug" sections? The "Report a Bug" section in particular gives instructions (which should probably be amended to indicate that "git diff" and "git format-patch" produce acceptable patches) for sending patches, so it might fit well there? That could be helpful for others in the future.
(This is still on bug-dejagnu because it is a documentation bug.) :-) -- Jacob
