On the same subject of format-patch improvements, perhaps we should also:

   - Keep subject line in branch.%s.description too. No point in
     keeping writing the subject on every reroll.

   - Perhaps an option to save the current tip in reflog with reroll
     count so one can easily diff between two rerolls.
