Mostly people don't bother with pointing to previous versions, and if
they have the same 0/x subject, they're typically trivial to find
anyway.

But if you really feel the need for explicit references to previous
versions, then yes, lkml.kernel.org/r/ links are preferred over pretty
much anything else I think.

As said in the other email; git has different standards than lkml. By
now we're just one of many many users of git.
