Did you do "format-patch --subject-prefix='[PATCH v2]'" or something like that? When applied, that would result in a commit title like this:

	1/4] patch-ids: stop using a ...

because we stop at the first ']', and we do not bother to count up to "matching bracket".

    git format-patch --subject-prefix='PATCH v2'

or even better

    git format-patch -v2

would have been more appropriate.
