This is interesting.

So, I forgot to remove old, already sent patches from the work dir
(usually I remove whole thing but didn't do that now).  So I had
2 patch series in the same dir, one old already sent and applied,
and one new.  And did git send-email series/* - which obviously
included both.

But the fun part is the References: headers and hence threading.

I used git format-patch --cover-letter $since-commit.  Git created the
cover letter with Message-Id 20230823055155.1917375-1-mjt@tls.msk.ru.
And used this Id in References: header of the *first* patch.

But in all subsequent patches 2..24, it used *another* ID in the
References: header, the one taken from the *old* cover letter,
which it replaced when generating the new cover.

Obviously I did not edit the messages, did not specify anything
more fancy besides --cover-letter, - the only issue was that I
had another 4-file patch series in the same dir.

This smells like an.. interesting bug in git.. :)
