No, no, that's from git format-patch, I swear (as somebody who doesn't
use git-publish).

Another detail, while at it: for some reason git send-email picked
the "chain-reply" style, that is, if you look at this in a threaded
email client, patch #1 is a reply to the cover letter (fine, expected)
but patch #2 is a reply to patch #1 (not expected), and so on.

That's the --chain-reply-to option for git send-email. You should
disable that (for example in gitconfig in case you have it on there)
and just use --cover-letter.
