Dear Marcel Ziswiler,

No, on contrary. New versions of a patch should always make sure to
thread correctly to the old version(s). It seems that preferences here
are a matter of taste - my personal preference is to link to the
preceeding version of the patch, but most others seem to prefer to
link to the first version always.

It's a standard Mail header like this one:

| In-reply-to: <1251879636-9115-1-git-send-email-wd at denx.de>
| References: <1251879636-9115-1-git-send-email-wd at denx.de>

when enables MUAs to display a "threaded view", i. e. you can see the
whole history of previous patch submissions, review comments, etc. and
thus for example check easily if the new version incorporates all
requested changes.

When you use "git send-email" to submit your patches, it will (in
standard configuration) ask you:

Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email? 

Here you can simply enter the message ID of the original posting you
are referring to ("<1251879636-9115-1-git-send-email-wd at denx.de>") in
the example above.


Note that the message ID of a posting is also a very convenient
method to look it up in the gmane archives: just append the message ID
to the URL "http://mid.gmane.org/" - i. e. try:

http://mid.gmane.org/1251879636-9115-1-git-send-email-wd@denx.de

Then click on the link in the "Subject: line to see the whole thread.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
