yes. The thread was:

Maybe an update of the wiki page would be helpfull to point this out. Ok there
is a hint that the "In-reply-to:" and "References" headers sould be keep
correct, but I think an explicitly hint to not repost unchanged patches in a
serie and hot to do it with "git send-email" would be helpfull for new users
reading this page.
