I guess this patch would not hurt too much, but the above would
vastly be improved if you used "-vN" option, instead of the
hand-rolled subject prefix, and dropped the last "rm -f" (which in
turn would mean you would want to use -o option to specify where to
keep the older iterations of the topic).  Then you can easily refer
to cover letters and patches from previous rounds while preparing
the latest to send out.
