Don't call format-patch with -D, then ;-).

Sure, if a collection of patches want to be reviewed and applied, I
would think it helps for them to be appliable to a common tree (like
my 'master') with tools reviewers and the maintainer are know to use
(like "git am").  As more roadblocks are added before the changes
can become reviewable in the reviewers' trees, less chances they
have to get reviewed.
