Please squash the changes and send a revised patch.

You can just use the normal "Reply" operation in your mailer
and attach the patch.  You don't have to use "git send-email".

If you do want to use "git send-email" then with "git format-patch"
you can pass "-v 2 --in-reply-to='<Message-ID>'" where <Message-ID>
is the value of the "Message-ID: ..." header field in the message
to which you're replying.  That will keep it in the same thread.

Thanks,
-Brad
