Usually you'd just send it in reply to the original thread with "[PATCH v2]" instead of just "[PATCH]" in the subject line. If you're using format-patch or send-email, you should be able to just add "-v2" (and --in-reply-to if you want to join the existing thread).

I thought SubmittingPatches discussed patch "re-rolls" like this, but I don't see any mention of it from a quick grep.
