Fixed, opted for latter [1].

Thanks a lot! my last question for the patch would now be, how do I use 
your snippet? Do I add you to S-o-b of the single patch, do I split the 
patches with the second S-o-b being yours, or do I submit only the first 
and you will submit the second?

I think this case must error? The definition of the "--in-reply-to" does 
not declare it as a default, so it must be enforced (and it is), but 
it's also very unintuitive the file value is discarded. Who would decide 
the behaviour spec?

Fixed [1].
