So is your recommendation to avoid the git send-email --in-reply-to
option?  If so, would you recommend including an lkml.kernel.org
link in the cover letter pointing to the previous version, or
is there something else that would make your workflow better?

Mostly people don't bother with pointing to previous versions, and if
they have the same 0/x subject, they're typically trivial to find
anyway.

But if you really feel the need for explicit references to previous
versions, then yes, lkml.kernel.org/r/ links are preferred over pretty
much anything else I think.

If you think this is actually the wrong thing, is it worth trying
to fix the git docs to deprecate this option?

As said in the other email; git has different standards than lkml. By
now we're just one of many many users of git.

Or is it more a question
of scale, and the 80-odd patches that I've posted so far just pushed
an otherwise good system into a more dysfunctional mode?  If so,
perhaps some text in Documentation/SubmittingPatches would be
helpful here.

Documentation/email-clients.txt maybe.
