Hi Miriam,

just a little note on the process: the convention on the Git mailing list
is to use `[PATCH v2]`, `[PATCH v3]`, etc when sending revised patch
series. It is even available in `git format-patch`'s options: `-v 2` (see
https://git-scm.com/docs/git-format-patch#Documentation/git-format-patch.txt--vltngt)
