I do not have major preference either way, but for a long series, I'd prefer a resend to be independent from the previous series, i.e.

        [PATCH 0/3]
        .[PATCH 1/3]
        ..[PATCH 2/3]
        ...[PATCH 3/3]

        [PATCH 0/4 v2]
        .[PATCH 1/4 v2]
        ..[PATCH 2/4 v2]
        ...[PATCH 3/4 v2]
        ....[PATCH 4/4 v2]
        
I can live with the first one from the new series being a follow-up to the
first one from the old series, i.e.:

        [PATCH 0/3]
        .[PATCH 1/3]
        ..[PATCH 2/3]
        ...[PATCH 3/3]
        .[PATCH 0/4 v2]
        ..[PATCH 1/4 v2]
        ...[PATCH 2/4 v2]
        ....[PATCH 3/4 v2]
        .....[PATCH 4/4 v2]

but _not_ with this, i.e. N/M being followup to old N/M:

        [PATCH 0/3]
        .[PATCH 0/4 v2]
        .[PATCH 1/3]
        ..[PATCH 1/4 v2]
        ..[PATCH 2/3]
        ...[PATCH 2/4 v2]
        ...[PATCH 3/3]
        ....[PATCH 3/4 v2]
        .....[PATCH 4/4 v2]
