Oh, BTW, it's handy if you add a [0/n] email with the overview, and put the V2->V3 stuff in there. The [0/n] text doesn't become part of the commit, so the logs don't get cluttered with all the development history. Also, please include the version in the subject somewhere, e.g., "[PATCH v3 0/n] ..."
