Personally, I don't plan to use --in-reply-to due to the overhead and
the error proneness aspects.  I have to first locate the thread, then
to get the message-id I have to ask my email client to show me the raw
text of the email, find that particular header bit, get it into the
clipboard and then insert it into my command line correctly quoted.
Then after I do all that, my client still won't thread the message for
me if the subject of the new patch bundle is different from the old
one.

I would prefer that.  github seems to handle this rather elegantly.

Just my $0.02,
