Actually, you don't have to - if you don't specify the patch names,
stgit will make them up itself using the subject of the commit message
as a base.

And by the way, I absolutely love that - when viewing the stack, it's
very useful to see what commits you still have to go etc. - stg series
is concise yet fully descriptive. I'm pondering about whether something
like this couldn't be incorporated into other git UIs somehow as well.
