I think this is a good idea.

There does not appear to be any way with git format-patch to
automatically add this. At least, there's no arg or config option
mentioned in the man page.

I guess you could use --subject-prefix= to add the branch, but it's
certainly not automatic.

You can do 'git config format.subjectprefix rhel5' or similar if you
keep a separate dir per branch. I don't know of anything off-hand for
doing it automagically :/
