I agree that it's not easy to track previously given R-b's across
rebases (reordering patches, moving hunks between them, etc), especially
if there's no huge need to touch up the commit messages themselves.

What helps IME is to review the full set (just about to be posted)
before sending, with "git-range-diff", against the last posted version.
If code changes are shown for any patch (not just context differences),
take notes about those patches, then perform a final rebase, dropping
all the previously given tags from the affected patches.

(Clearly such a "git-range-diff" is incomparably faster on the author's
end than on the reviewer's end, as the author has it all in their
"working set".)

Thank you!
