Actually by saying "[1/6] indeed depends on my previous patch series[2]
and it is assuming that that series has already been merged.", I wanted
to mean that the format followed in this patch (e.g. description list,
indentation etc.) is dependent on the format changes introduced in that
Patch series.

If you say about the base branch, yes, you're right. The base branch is
'Master'.

Oh, I see. I have no problem doing that :)
Let me know if Junio face any problem fixing the conflict.

Thanks :)
