Can you please configure your git-send-email machinery to post patch
series with "shallow threading"? Otherwise the patch emails are not
linked under the cover letter, and they fly apart.

I'm asking in particular because this series modifies both MdeModulePkg
and NetworkPkg. In such cases usually one of the affected maintainers
volunteers for merging the full set (once review is complete for the
entire set). And collecting the individual patches without proper
shallow threading is very difficult.

The git options are the following:

git config sendemail.chainreplyto false
git config sendemail.thread       true

They are also put in place (with many other useful settings) by
"BaseTools/Scripts/SetupGit.py".

Or is there another problem with posting the patches? (I assume you post
the full set with a single git-send-email invocation.)

Thanks!
Laszlo
