Okay, "rename" it be, instead of me thinking in the past simple tense,
of "renamed". 

As for the coverletter(s)...repetition a big problem.

There's not much in the way of uniqueness that can be added...regretfully 
Tagging the Subject line with a numeric value is possible and
should deviate the coverletter(s) enough so they don't "appear the same".
e.g. staging: rtl8192e: this patch series (1) blah blah blah...
e.g. staging: rtl8192e: this patch series (2) blah blah blah...
e.g. staging: rtl8192e: this patch series (3)  "    "    "

Gary
