I was wondering why are you using the first patch of a nine patch
series as a 'cover letter' of an eight patch patchset.

In other words, why putting the In-Reply-To field of all patches subsequent
to the first one ponting to the first patch itself as a cover letter,
is it a recommened practice?

thank you,
