reroll count documentation states that v<n> will be pretended to the filename. Judging by the examples that should have been 'prepended'.

 	Mark the series as the <n>-th iteration of the topic. The
-	output filenames have `v<n>` pretended to them, and the
+	output filenames have `v<n>` prepended to them, and the
 	subject prefix ("PATCH" by default, but configurable via the
 	`--subject-prefix` option) has ` v<n>` appended to it.  E.g.
 	`--reroll-count=4` may produce `v4-0001-add-makefile.patch`
