Updating previous work depends on whether it has been picked up in 'next' by Junio; once patches are there, they cannot be rewritten. In that case, you can send a follow-up patch.

In your case, though, the patch is still in 'pu', so you can repost. So I think it makes sense to use "rebase -i" (or the tool of your choice) to make a cleaned up series, and then repost the whole thing as a series.
