Personally I don't care too much. I'm used to the shallow threading, so
I'm fine with that.
Now on the other hand, looking at a few examples I see GitGitGadget does
deep nesting. Wouldn't it make sense to be consistent?
Anyhow, I don't think it's worth it to keep bike shedding about this. In
all methods we recommend to Cc people, I think that's more important
then caring about how messages are threaded (for example, I've noticed
LKML doesn't thread at all, i.e. `b4.send-same-thread=no` which is the
default).
Bottom line, for me this series is good to go in.
