Hah. :)

The git send-email program can do the actual emailing, and then it sets
all mail dates to the current time (so that the mails end up 00-12 if
you get them instead of in order of original commit date, which is now
9,10-11,5,6,2,etc). It will also put you as sender, and then add the
"From: Foo <foo at bar>" line as first in the email, which causes it to be
put back as commit author when using git am.

e.g.

    git send-email --suppress-cc=all --dry-run 00*

You want the suppress-cc because otherwise you'll be causing mails to be
sent to Julian and everyone who has Reviewed-by etc lines in the
original commits.

Dry-run shows the smtp header stuff to verify.

Feel free to re-send.

Have fun,
Hans
