I recommend avoiding sending two patches like this in the same bundle.
The problem is that the first patch is insignificant, but the second one
is important.  Because the first one is the one listed in the Subject,
it means the important patch can be missed by readers.

To work around this, what I do is either send the patches separately, or
use amend-record --edit (without changing the comment or the hunk) to
update the timestamp on the trivial patch, which means that the Subject
field is set from the important patch.

Thanks, didn't think about that trick. Sending separately would have
been the right thing to do here though. Especially since I can resend
new versions independently then.

It would also be nice if darcs send --edit-description gave you the
chance to edit some of the mail headers to allow changing the subject
or adding references.

Best,
  Benedikt
