If I'm not mistaken, this is v3? When using git send-mail, you can use
--subject-prefix=PATCHv3 to make it more obvious to reviewers.
This offers a number of advantages:
* Allows sharing a home directory between different machines, or
sessions (eg. using NFS)
* Cleanly separates cache, runtime (eg. sockets), or app data from
user settings
* Supports performing smart or selective migration of settings
between different OS versions
* Supports reseting settings without breaking things
* Makes it possible to clear cache data to make room when the disk
is filling up
* Allows us to write a robust and efficient backup solution
* Allows an admin flexibility to change where data and settings are stored
* Dramatically reduces the complexity and incoherence of the
system for administrators

Also, listing a summary of changes since v2, after the --- line, can aid
in review.
I haven't looked closely at the patch yet, but hope to get to it today.
