A minor point: Are you sure that it's git-format-patch that's being
careful about arranging Date: to display in the desired order, and not
git-send-email? Looking at old patches I still have hanging around
which were created with git-format-patch, I see the Date: headers are
wildly out of order, presumably because the date is taken from
Author-Date: and the patches were heavily rebased.
