It really depends on the target audience.  As a reviewer who may be
too busy to read every iteration of a series, I would probably find
it useless if it gives just "range-diff" or "range-diff with last"
without saying which exact round.  Obviously, if you are not doing
range-diff, it will not be an issue.  If the patch requires (I
didn't read the latest one) the previous-count to be given when
range-diff or interdiff is not requested, it should probably be
fixed.

I am also OK with any design decision, as long as it will not close
the door for the occasionally requested feature to carry over cover
letter material from the previous round to the current one.

Thanks.
