This one is from Cogito itself:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/README

Jeff Garzik wrote a Git "howto" (the system that lives under Cogito):

  http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html

IIRC Randy Dunlap also wrote something, but I can't find it.

It's old and outdated.

Thanks I've read this, I was hoping for a full set of documentation lurking 
around. I've fooled around a bit more and determined how to do some more 
things. Does cogito/git output patches in the prefered LKML format 
automatically? (-p1 etc)

As for git, I'm trying to avoid it a little bit as it scares me a little.

Try: man git-format-patch-script

Specifically:
	git format-patch origin

This will output one file per commit, with the comment, diffstat and
patch in it.

Apart from what the others replied, you could also try StGIT if you
used Quilt (it's not complicated at all anyway). Basically, you first
create a patch (or several) and all the modifications are included
into it. You push/pop patches from the top of your tree and also
e-mail them. You can always delete a patch if you no longer need it
and the changes are removed from your tree.
