Good idea!

The workflow for a new patch series is:

  $ git checkout -b my-feature
  ...work on feature...
  $ git publish

Your patch series has been tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
back to it in the future.

Sending v2:

  $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
  ...work on feature...
  $ git publish

Your patch series has been tagged as my-feature-v2.

Please rename the "qemu" profile to "default".  This way no --profile
needs to be given:

  $ git publish

The default profile settings can be overridden by command-line options
and branch-specific settings.
