Subject: Cover letter
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2008 13:52:16 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4d8e3fd30801080452g71c3d3dx39f2ec805239ef01@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,
I'm going to experiment the git-send-email command quite soon and I
have a doubt
that I would like to clarify.

I'm used to the following work flow:
- git branch trivial
- git checkout trivial
- work work work
- git gui to commit all the changes
- git-format-patch -n -o /home/paolo/patches
- open the MUA
- write the cover letter
- import the N patches
- send all the patches
- collect feedback
- work work work
- git rebase -i
- back to the git gui to commit all the changes line


This is working fine but since I'm going to push out a queue of patches
it would be nicer to script everything with git-send-email.

I know I have to configure git in order to use the gmail's smtp server,
I know how to tell git-send-email where to pick up the patches but I fail
to understand how I can write a cover letter and let it be part of the patch
queue.

Any hint?

Thanks in advance.
