I've already explained this earlier [1]:

    git send-email --compose 0001-.... 0002-... ....

The --compose option should force git-send-email to open an $EDITOR which then
can be used to write a separate message. But you can also just create manually
a 0000-* file with the same valid mail headers (like the ones in a patch
generated by git-format-patch) and add it as first file to `git send-email`.

Every editor which can be configured to represent one tab as 8 spaces. I
personally use kate or vim.

You should use checkpatch.pl with --strict. And you can also try to check the
original source file with bracket_align.py [2]. Btw. I personally use
checkpatch.pl from linux-next [3] because it usually has some new checks
which are not yet in Linus' tree.

Kind regards,
