Before you send the next version, can you tweak your workflow to generate the
base commit via `git format-patch --base`? That makes it much easier for humans
and scripts to find the base commit, and saves you from having to remember to
manually specify the base. Because of the code movement, applying this series
without the precise base is an exercise in frustration.

E.g. my workflow does

git format-patch --base=HEAD~$nr <more crud>

where $nr is the number of patches to generate. There's also an "auto" option,
but IIRC that only works if you have the upstream pointing at the base, e.g. it
falls apart if upstream points at your own remote "backup" repo.
