So rather than the --no-thread option provided in the second patch of this series, you'd prefer a --thread option to enable setting the In-Reply-To/References headers? Note that I based the direction of the --no-thread switch on git-send-email's inclusion of these headers by default with no way to turn them off, figuring that having an option to do so gave it an advantage over git-send-email while remaining consistent with it. I also figured that most people would not mess with the defaults, and thus the default should make a patch series more readable on mailing lists. - Josh Triplett
