How can we suppress this, which is just the git version that generated the patch file?

Use the git format-patch --no-signature flag:

       --[no-]signature=<signature>
           Add a signature to each message produced. Per RFC 3676 the signature is separated from the
           body by a line with '-- ' on it. If the signature option is omitted the signature defaults
           to the Git version number.
