Rather than '--subject-prefix=v2', I prefer using '-v2'.  The important
part is that you send the mails with 'git send-email' instead of doing
it by hand.  In fact, you can do 'git send-email --annotate -v2
--cover-letter master' and skip the format-patch altogether, if you are
okay saving your cover letter edits to the point where you are sending
the mails.

I'm not sure what you meant by commit.  You aren't adding the *.patch
files to a repository, but sending them as email.
