Padding with zeros makes it even more useful:

	[PATCH 00/17]
	[PATCH 01/17]
		...
	[PATCH 17/17]

To be honest I utterly hate that convention

It's so they'll correctly alphasort at the recipient's end.

I doubt if many MUAs do numeric sorting..

I wonder if 'git-format-patch --numbered' should be updated to
do the zero padding.  Right now we don't.

It should be a trivial patch to do if somebody is so inclined
(it is around ll.133 in log-tree.c).
