X-Patchwork-Id: 561384

I assume this tag points to the last version which was actually
applied to the git tree.


If you want to know the whole history of each patch,
you should see former versions as well as the last one.

The last version is often mature,
so it may end up with just having "Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!",
which does not carry useful information at all.

Nor do I want to see something as follows.
X-Pachwork-Id-v1: 561184
X-Pachwork-Id-v2: 561284
X-Pachwork-Id-v3: 561384
