Correction: The problem was that I used '--in-reply-to' with git
format-patch.
The confusing part is that send-email and format-patch have opposite
defaults for '--thread'. Using '--in-reply-to' works fine with either
as long as '--thread' is enabled. This is the default with send-email,
but not with format-patch.
There is a hint in the format-patch docs:
Beware that the default for git send-email is to thread emails
itself. If you want git format-patch to take care of
threading, you will want to ensure that threading is disabled
for git send-email.
So I learned something new about git today as well. I read this as:
"Don't ever use '--in-reply-to' with format-patch, unless you know what
you do".
And I never do...
