(I plead guilty, then. I, too, did put patchset history only in the 
summary post, and never commented others who did it too)

Git itself won't give you a way to do this. What I do is:

- when I create a V2 patchset I edit the patch messages manually to add 
history (in the summary so far, I'll fix this for future patchsets) and 
keep the patch messages around;

- when I create a V3-or-later patchset, I copy-paste the history from 
the previous set then add the new history entry.

Being a creature of habit, I am used to launching two instances of nedit 
with the V(n-1) and V(n) patch sets for this.
