This was a bug in my script to send email -- it failed to remove the
ChangeLog hunk when sending from a git worktree.  I've just fixed it.

You can see my scripts here: https://github.com/tromey/git-gnu-changelog

For the case of applying a patch, I use git-merge-changelog, from
gnulib.  Fedora packages it so you can just "dnf install" it.  This
avoids most problems arising from applying patches with ChangeLogs (I
think I had one problem in the last few years).

Mark once wrote up some instructions that I still follow when setting
this up:
