My mail "[PATCH 0/6] fixes for git-send-email" had an empty blurb
section because it didn't need any additional description.
I wouldn't want git to refuse sending it.

I actually wouldn't have wanted to see that [0/6] with empty description.

I thought the diffstat is a nice overview as well. So there is at least
some value in a blurb-less cover letter. But I guess they are debatable.

If the list of 6 patch titles give clear enough description of the theme
of the whole series, you would not need [0/6] to set the stage,

I prefer --thread --no-chain-reply-to for more than 2 patches, so it
seems I sometimes only abuse the 0/X as a common anchor for 1..X/X. I'd
find it strange to use 1/X for that.

and that is the best kind of series.

Hmm, so then you prefer no 0/X at all.
