What makes the major difference is sending them all with one
git send-email command. As Max says, not using chainreplyto
is the usual convention, but that's a different thing.

NB that you can say
 git send-email --dry-run *.patch

and it will print out the messages and headers it would have
sent, so you can check that the References headers look like
what you want them to.

PS: personally I like to use git format-patch's "-o directory"
option to write a patch series to its own directory, and then
"git send-email directory" to send; that keeps things separate
and means you won't ever accidentally send some old stale
patch along with your new ones.
