<sigh> The joe.reviewer@hotmail.com in the git send-email example that I
provided off list was just that - an example that you were supposed to
replace with the actual reviewers :|.

I wouldn't generally bother with the links to the previous patch
versions, though it might be helpful given the rename and version
issues of the previous patches in this case. If you are going to
provide links, use reference style with all the links at the bottom of
the mail.

Other than that, the only problem I have is that the Fixes tag line
shouldn't wrap - it is an exception to the rule.
Bart, are you ok with fixing that on the way in - assuming there are no
other objections?

Cheers,
Kent.
