I've been mulling this over, and here's my approach:
1.) modify git to add a hook in format-patch, output is dumped after the
'---' and before the diff. We use this the run checkpatch.pl with our
config. Our script includes a version tag of checkpatch.pl?
2.) Add a '--versioning' option to format-patch which will scan the
output directory for previous versions of the patch.
a.) Use the Message-Id of the first version as an In-Reply-To
b.) Migrate patch changelog over from previous version, append '***
ADD CHANGELOG ENTRY HERE ***'
c.) enforce [PATCH 1/7 V#] Subject line format.
I think this would be more flexible, and would help many projects, not
just u-boot.
thx,
Jason.
