In general, I like git-send-email more than sending just pure patch.
With git-send-email we are not deprived of commit message, patch itself
is in the email body making writing of review notes easier. Otherwise
one has to transfer patch from attachment into the body anyway:
e.g.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-July/msg00147.html
For my disillusionment we have no how-to on this theme on our
libvirt.org site though.
Then let's just add it to
http://libvirt.org/hacking.html
it's true that we suggest to do a "git diff", ahum, so it's really not
Ata's fault :-)
My guess is that the "usual" process slightly shifted as most people
around became more familiar with git (me included !!!)
It think I remember seeing a mail from Dan with how/why patch should
be split into atomic operations, maybe we could also extend point 3/
with those.
