Hi,
How you guys handle patches with emails? I know git am and git
format-patch/send-email, but those tools are quite limited, especially
when handling patch series, subsequent versions etc.
What I miss there:
- patch versioning (git notes could be used, but it doesn't survive git
commit --amend, nor git rebase)
- keeping/versioning cover email
- collecting Cc: from all patches in series into cover email
- adding Reviewed-by, Acked-by etc tags
I can't believe you all do this all manually ;)
Is there any commonly available tool I can't find, or everyone have own
scripts?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
