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

perhaps?
