I try to have as much in git as possible.

So when the reviews trickle in, I change my commits (in git) accordingly
via rebase and edit and lots of fixup commits. I use git notes
to keep track of changes from one version to another.

Having the "changes of the changes" in the git notes, I am (in theory)
always able to kick out a new version of the patch series with

   rm 00* # delete old patches
   git format-patch --notes --coverletter somebranch...HEAD
   edit 0000-cover-letter.patch
   git send-email 00* --to=mailing list --to=j...@doe.org 
--cc=m...@mustermann.de

which is only a few steps, so there is not much to go wrong here.

For me the biggest thing is to know when to send out new patches.
(Do I sleep over it and review it again myself,
or do I just gun it, believing my patches are good this time?)
