Thank you, I wasn't thinking about it that way. I agree, it's important. Description: The main idea of the patch is, if you want to format the output by ref-filter, you should have an ability to work with errors and final message by yourself if you want to. So I decided not to touch signature of show_ref_array_item(), but to move all die() invocations to it. So that we could invoke format_ref_array_item() and be sure that we could handle errors by ourselves, and we also get formatted message so we could continue working with it if we want to. Thank you, Olga

Another important way to help both returning and new reviewers is to provide a link to the previous iteration (or iterations), like this[1]. Thanks.

Usually in a cover letter (patch 0/X) there is both information about the goal of the patch series and the changes since last version. Repeating the goal in each version is useful for reviewers who might not have time to look at the patch series before, or who might have forgotten about it. Thanks, Christian.
