Since the cover letter does not include any code change, the git apply command denies it by default. But the cover letter would be helpful for readers since it gives many information (including background, motivation, design decision, etc.). To allow to have the cover letter, add --apply-empty option to the git apply command. Signed-off-by: Takahiro Itazuri <itazur@amazon.com>
