Nope, the branches are organized that way to sanely merge in with all
the other arm-soc code.  While I make every effort to keep them stable
(ie, not rebased), they may change at anytime if I need to fix things.

tags are stable, and if all patches are based on tags, then merge
conflicts follow a predictable pattern.  Anything else devolves into
chaos.

if format-patch is called properly (I know from experience how to call
it improperly ;-) ), you can just do

$ git send-email ... /path/to/patches/*.patch

and it'll get the order correct.  It will also ask for confirmation
before sending each email.

Dry-run sending a series just to yourself lets you see how it will
appear once it goes out to the list.

hth,

Jason.
