I normally ask for it to be the kernel version (without git) that the
patch was generated against, so if there's problems applying it, I
can try a bit harder to apply it (such as checking out that version
and applying it there, and then merging the result.)

It's original purpose was when I was maintaining the 2.4 and 2.5/2.6
kernel trees at the same time - it was critical to know which tree
people wanted their patch applied to.

Note that the patch system email parser can cope with the tag
appearing almost anywhere in the email - either the message header
or the body of the email, except intermingling with the patch itself.
