Usually it's pretty clear when a new patch or patch series is going to
be sent.  I think that simply resending it all is OK.

I don't pay much attention to the "version N" info either - it can be
unreliable and not everyone does it and chronological ordering works OK
for this.

Very occasionally I'll merge a patch and then discover a later version
further down through the backlog.  But that's OK - I'll just update the
patch.  Plus I'm not usually stuck this far in the past.

(I'm still trying to find half a day to read "Per-bdi writeback flusher
threads v12")
