I thought the diffstat is a nice overview as well. So there is at least some value in a blurb-less cover letter. But I guess they are debatable. > If the list of 6 patch titles give clear enough description of the theme > of the whole series, you would not need [0/6] to set the stage, I prefer --thread --no-chain-reply-to for more than 2 patches, so it seems I sometimes only abuse the 0/X as a common anchor for 1..X/X. I'd find it strange to use 1/X for that. > and that is the best kind of series. Hmm, so then you prefer no 0/X at all.
