Personally I don't mind that much either way as I think using the 
"toggle line wrap" is more convenient for including patches in a mail 
(though that unfortunately only works with the current esr release and 
earlier). I agree with your previous mail that having this patch on the 
mailing list could be useful for anyone searching for this in the future 
so I re-rolled to fix the issue that Junio pointed out.

Note directly related to this series but looking at the format-patch 
documentation in mentions the "external editor" plugin which has been 
superseded by "external editor revived" and "toggle word wrap" which has 
been superseded by "toggle line wrap" so we should probably update that.

Best Wishes
