Lies! :-) This is based off one of the kvmarm.git topic branches (I didn't bother to figure out which one), not v6.5-rc1. Please try to incorporate git format-patch's "--base" option into your workflow, e.g. I do "git format-patch --base=HEAD~$nr" where $nr is the number of patches I am posting. It's not foolproof, e.g. my approach doesn't help if I have a local patch that I'm not posting, but 99% of the time it Just Works and eliminates any ambuitity. You can also do "--base=auto", but that only does the right thing if your series has its upstream branch set to the base/tree that you want your patches applied to (I use the upstream branch for a completely different purpose for my dev branches).
