Indeed, even if no deltas are created it is importan then to say that.
If there are no deltas the "why" becomes more important. If the why is
to make it easier to apply subsequent patches, that must be said. When
you iterate your new series try to review the patches as if you were not
the person submitting them, and try to think of ways to make it easier
for the patch reviewer to do less work. The less work and easier patch
review is the better for them.
