Well, you could just use git-send-email when there is only 1 patch. I
had considered having the tool create only a single email if there was
only 1 patch. However, in the end, I just send the cover letter with the
pull requrest and let the single patch follow. It works fine and is
consistent with the other patches, even if it is a degenerate case.

So I don't think this is necessary really, but if it works for you and
doesn't get abused, I'm fine with it. Perhaps only allowing this if
there is indeed only 1 patch would be better.
