I fixed that, thanks.

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. I also tend to update the date stamp on the ChangeLog
entry one day ahead to the date in the submittted patch due to my
position relative to the international date line. :-)
