It seems like everyone has written some sort of tooling on top of
format-patch at this point. Taking a cursory look at your tool, perhaps
a feature like `--previous-cover-letter <file>` might provide most of
the functionality that most tooling that I've seen gives.

This is a good idea. We can default <file> to the target cover letter
(e.g., if -v2 is passed, v2-0000-cover-letter.patch or if
--numbered-files is passed, 0) if present, or the previous series' cover
letter.

That's a good idea.

Actually I don't see any reason why by default it isn't
0000-v2-cover-letter.patch.

If it was it would diminish the need to warn people before overwriting
0000-cover-letter.patch.
