Btw nitpeek on how you submit patches: The threading you're using here is
"deep" i.e. every patch is reply to the previous patch. The usual thing
is flat, i.e. all patches are replies to the cover letter.
I think only very old versions of git had the former as a default, so not
sure what's going on. But the deep threading makes piecing the
conversation together quite a bit harder, at least here in mutt.
