Example:
If you would like to send 3 last local commits in the patches and include some information to them you would run `git format-patch -3 -n --cover-letter'. It will create:
0000-cover-letter.patch 0001-commit-message-header-1.patch 0002-commit-message-header-2.patch 0003-commit-message-header-3.patch
Those files are separate commits which will result into separate e-mails. You should open 0000-cover-letter.patch using your favorite text file editor and include subject and message instead of **SUBJECT** and **BLURB** lines. When you're done with that you can send them using `git send-email 00* --to e-mail-address@domain.tld`.
Or consolidate those steps, and run: git send-email -3 --cover-letter --annotate which opens an editor on 4 temporary files (the cover letter and three patches), and mails all four of them on exit, without you having to do any file cleanup afterwards. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
