Hi Glenn,
Doesn't git send-email's --in-reply-to option solve this problem?

       --in-reply-to=<identifier>
           Make the first mail (or all the mails with --no-thread) appear as a
           reply to the given Message-Id, which avoids breaking threads to
           provide a new patch series. The second and subsequent emails will
           be sent as replies according to the --[no]-chain-reply-to setting.

           So for example when --thread and --no-chain-reply-to are specified,
           the second and subsequent patches will be replies to the first one
           like in the illustration below where [PATCH v2 0/3] is in reply to
           [PATCH 0/2]:

               [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did...
                 [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests
                 [PATCH 2/2] Implementation
                 [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll
                   [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up
                   [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests
                   [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation
