GIT-Question: how do I start a commit with some explanations/comments

[Matthias Fischer <matthias.fischer@ipfire.org>]

Hi,

I'd like to have a problem but I can't find the solution...

Problem:
How do I create a commit that starts with a comment on the commits that
will follow immediately afterward? In other words, the first commit
(numbered 1/2, e.g.) should be a detailed comment, and the actual patch
(2/2, e.g.) should then follow as a *second* commit.

It might have something to do with 'git commit ...'.

I saw this here - first came a commit containing some explanations and
comments, then came the actual patch, but I can't figure it out.

Any help or a hint would be appreciated, 'git commit -- help' didn't
help... ;-)

Best
Matthias

P.S.: And I *don't* mean 'git commit --amend'! ;-)
