The range-diff is particularly valuable exactly for this case (new
versions of old patches) since it is a "diff" between the old patches
and the new patches. Thus, it provides reviewers with a precise
summary of what changed between, say, v2 and v3 of a series, and
manifests as a concrete representation of what your prose explanation
describes.
