Although it's not ideal, you can use the --subject-prefix switch to
git format-patch to alter. For instance, --subject-prefix="XGI PATCH"
would do the trick here. You can also set the gitconfig option
format.subjectprefix:

$ git config format.subjectprefix "XGI PATCH"

Maybe there's a way to distribute git-config settings with the
checkout, but I don't think there is.
