Karthik,

So, the recommendation is to use options -C, -M and --find-copies-harder (the 
last one applies to either -C or -M, if you don't want to specify their 
values directly)

Please don't use -D option as it does indeed make patches un-applicable. E.g. 
your second set cannot be applies as is now. It may make patches with whole 
file being deleted smaller and easier to review though, but whole-file 
deletions are easy to see and skip anyway, so the small benefit doesn't 
outweigh the pain of not being able to apply the patch.

The workflow I use is to review the patches on the list (prefer -C and -M to 
be used) and let our internal Patchwork capture everything. Then I apply the 
accepted patches directly from Patchwork the way they were submitted and Acked 
and push them in sets of small batches. The review process is usually given a 
few days on the list, unless the patch is critical and has to be pushed ASAP.
