I just tried to change the commit message as you said.  When I check the
amended patch, however, the subject line at the top of the file is:

Subject: [PATCH] Issue 2679: Function for overriding broken spanners

Apparently, [PATCH] is added automatically when I make a new patch with the
LilyDev interface.  (It doesn't appear in nano.)  I can, of course, just
remove "[PATCH]" manually and save.
