Er, I *did* send a cover letter. Cc:ed to the union of everyone
Cc:ed on any of the individual patches. It's appended. (I left in
the full Cc: list so you can see you're on it.)
My problem is I don't have git on my e-mail machine, so I fed them to
sendmail manually, and that does some strange things.
