Yes.  It indeed is easier to see the evolution if the series does
not get rebased needlessly.

I recall we taught a new "--base" option to "format-patch" not too
long ago, so one way to do so may be:

    $ git format-patch --cover-letter --base=v2.16.0-rc0 master..bw/protocol-v2
    $ tail -4 0000-cover*.txt
    base-commit: 1eaabe34fc6f486367a176207420378f587d3b48
    --
    2.16.2-345-g7e31236f65

perhaps?
