That would be good.

You edit it locally via `git commit --amend` (or using rebase -i's `reword` if you need to adjust a commit message in the middle of a patch series, not at the end).

Then you send it as a reply to the first submission (--in-reply-to, if you use format-patch), with the `[PATCH v2]` prefix (--subject-prefix='[PATCH v2]' if you use format-patch).

Ciao, Dscho
