Yes.

Since usage_msg_opt is NORETURN, it's OK: if you reach this point, you
know that argv[0] contains something.

No strict rule on that, but I usually use --in-reply-to on the root of
the thread for previous iteration. If you don't, include a link (e.g.
gmane) to the previous iteration in the cover-letter.

format-patch has a -v2 option to let you get [PATCH v2 ...]
automatically.
