A very similar option that I used before finding reroll count is
--subject-prefix
I still use that for RFC/WIP tags, but I sometimes used it with "PATCHv2"
as an argument, too.

Would we want to extend the niceties of this patch to that workflow?

Unrelated to this patch: how does this series cope with range diffs
that are not in commit-ish but patches on the file system?
