Oooh, gosh, yeah:

-> [PATCH v2 N/3]
 \-> [PATCH N/2]
  \-> [PATCH v2 N/2]


I'm sorry, it's one of those times when it's never going to be clear 
what's been intended. :)

That said, it's a legitimate bug -- if the msgid we're cherry-picking is 
not in the latest series revision, we should automatically select the 
revision containing the requested msgid. You can still get the patch you 
need in this particular case if you pass -v1 to the command you used, 
but it should work without forcing the -v1.

I'll poke to see what can be done.
