Small housekeeping request: could you please make sure your series is properly 
threaded for email clients? This submission was sent as singular patches, without 
any References header.

I don't even know how you coaxed git-send-email into doing that - did you use 
--no-thread?

The recommended flags are --thread --no-chain-reply-to.

Thanks!

	Ingo

I will fix it when sending out the next version.
Thanks!
