It is a good point, but it is backwards to how alot of people have
been doing things already for a long time..
Putting the commit last makes it work a lot more like the usual
merge-commit approach to preserve the cover letter. Particularly if
you open the branch in any of the web viewers for git, or gitk you get
a very nice view of the cover letter explaining the branch followed by
the usual code in reverse patch order.
It would be nice to use merge commits to mark the series boundary, but
IMHO, the tooling is poor for this.
