If the maintainer did his job well, then everything that you had in [PATCH 01/08] ... [PATCH 08/08] is in the commits of the series, and [PATCH 00/08] (the cover letter) is in the commit that merged the series. Anything else that I didn't mention but you consider as "the info of the series"? > But this still looks like be inferred basing on a branch head, and I'm > afraid this may not be applicable in every case. What's the problem? That it's inferred?
