This only works in Git, but then amending really only works in git.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_rights_reserved

Emacs interface no longer displays backend output as it comes in

The emacs interface creates and populates a *commit-patch* buffer. This is meant
to stay in the background unless something goes wrong. Due to a bug in Emacs
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17815) this buffer was getting
displayed if using commit-patch with TRAMP, even when no error has occured.

This patch asks emacs to not update this buffer with the data as it comes in.
This is fine here, and fixes the issue.

commit-patch-buffer-in-directory: Use commit-patch script from the same directory

The missing link for distributing the package via ELPA

Still lots of noise from VCSes.

IE. Section D.8 of the elisp manual.

Thanks to Jonas Bernoulli <jonas@bernoul.li> for the push.
