Makes me wonder > whether we should maybe highlight this tool more in our docs. It would be a very much welcome change. And "b4" also helps the receiving end, not just the sender. With "b4" finding the latest round automatically, getting updated round once a topic is in my tree is a breeze, thanks to the amlog notes. Essentially, I detach the HEAD at the previous base commit (often a bit older 'master', but a few prerequisite topis merged into it), give "b4 am -o-" a message-id of one of the patches I have queued to download the latest and pipe that to "git am -s". That way, both "git range-diff @{-1}..." and "git diff @{-1}" become very effective ways to see what changes were made to the topic.
