I actually *prefer* multiple patches, actually, but what works best
when there is a series of patches is to resend the whole patch stack
using git-format-patch or git-send-email --- or set up your own git
repository on the network (or use repo.or.cz) and send me a pull
request.  But that requires much more use of git.  :-)

In any case, I'll pull in the last change, and this time I promise
I'll be careful about remembering to use --author.  That *is*
something I should be doing, but I certainly appreciate people using
git's facilities to make my life easier, thanks.
