The way I do that is with "stg mail -v v3", which puts "[PATCH v3
01/10]" in the subject.  IMO, that's much more useful because when you
post a 23-patch series, I don't want to be bothered with v1, v2, v3 on
a per-patch basis.

It's true that when you post v2, many of those 23 patches will be
unchanged from v1, and you do have to describe that in the [v2 00/23]
mail.  But at least it's easy to identify the entire set of v2
patches.
