`git-format-patch --base` doesn't support lying about the state by
leaving out the prerequisite patch IDs, as far as I know.  If you have a
string of commits that you want to post as single patches where only
base-commit is listed, the approach would be to split each of those off
into separate, independent branches on top of the base commit.

             a
            /
    base ----- b
            \
             c
