Hello,

Pushed.  Thank you for looking.  We may later want to refine the
vc--subject-to-file-name subroutine to replace other characters too.

Hello,

If you receive a message generated by vc-prepare-patch and then you save all
the attachments to a directory, you lose any indication of the order in which
the patches are meant to be applied.

git-format-patch(1) numbers the patch files it saves.  Thus, with most mail
clients, when the recipient saves all the attachments to a local directory,
they'll be ordered.  I think it would be useful for vc-prepare-patch to do
something similar.  Please find a patch attached.
