Hello,
If you are using version numbering in your patch series, please be
sure to update the version number for *all patches* in series. Even
if only one patch of the series has changed in the updated series,
please update the version number for all patches. Having different
version numbers within a series is confusing, and is more difficult to
follow when using automated tools such as patchworks.
Keeping versioning consistent is easy when using 'git format-patch'.
Simply use the --subject-prefix option to add a version number, and it
will be added to every patch in the series. For example
$ git format-patch -o tmp --subject-prefix='PATCH v3' <start>..<until>
Will ensure that all the subjects have the same versioning.
Kevin
