Bearing in mind the above please note that discursive stuff like this
should come after the --- or in a separate mail so that it's separated
from the commit log for tools like git am.  You submit a large number of
patches, you should be aware of things like this.

The other standard approach is to delete patches after review which does
make that rather difficult; resubmission is much more standard than
incremental revisions of unapplied patches and is going to work even if
people are OK with the incremental patches.
