More generally though it is find IMHO to send out a series which depends
on another so long as the 00/NN email clearly explains what it needs to
be applied on top of (i.e. a reference to the specific version of the
other series).

You should omit that other tree when posting, by passing git send-email
the correct range to just send your own stuff.

And under such circumstances it might also be a good idea to also
include a git url, to make it easier for people to pickup the right set
of things.
