Realized that the sign-off was missing in first rev
The I tried to generate the V2 with signoff,
I had 16 patches committed in the tree,
which I wanted to divide up into patchsets.

1:	1-8
2:	9
3:	10
4:	11-12
5:	13
6:	14
7:	15
8:	16

patch "1" beeing the first to be committed, and 16 the latest.

Since all files are committed, I have to do
git format-patch -16
move the first 8 files to a subdirectory
remove the rest
"sed" the PATCH line in all patches to replace n/16 with n/2
"sed" the PATCH line in all patches to replace PATCH with PATCH v2

git format patch -8
move the first file to a subdirectory
remove the rest
"sed" ...

until I created 8 subdirectories.


Anyone knows of a better way to let me extract patch 1-8 and
have them numbered 1/8 .. 8/8 instead of n/16 ?

I guess I could revert/rebase and reapply the patches.
Then I have to feed in the comments again.
Would be nice to do have a switch to say I want 8 patches starting with
patch 16 from the top.

git format-patch -8 --start-at=16

but I do not see such a possibility.
Any better idea?
