Hi Serge

David workflow is to put the patch set into a branch, and then merge
the branch into his master, using the cover note as the merge commit
message.

You occasionally see commit messages for count == 1, but not often.
For > 1, if there is no cover note, somebody is likely to ask for one
:-)
