Ah, didn't know.
I've seen this be done before, such as:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1759680/focus=1775068
and hence did the same.
And searching case-insensitively "reply", "fresh", "new", "thread" in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches shed no light on this topic.

Ah, OK, you meant:
Please use git format-patch so that I could use git am.
Did that.
(Thanks, you made me learn about git format-patch by myself.
That is, only describing the format makes you a
teacher-who-let-the-padawan-find-the-right-tool-by-self-work instead of a
teacher-who-gives-the-solution.)

I went for a v3.
