I have a collection of commits in my GIT repository that I like to send out to linux-kernel. But my initial experiments with git-send-emails.perl fall out bad. I did the following: 1) First I created a mbox with the patches: git format-patch -n --mbox --stdout -M -B b286e39207237e2f6929959372bf66d9a8d05a82 > mbox The mbox looked OK. -M -B were from the man page and since the patchset includes a number of renames it made the mbox considerably smaller. So I went on an tried to send the mails: git-send-email.perl --from "Sam Ravnborg " --to "sam@ravnborg.org" --chain-reply-to "" mbox It just send out two huge mails containing all of the mbox. Also it cc:ed all people included in "Signed-off-by". That is sometimes a nice feature but for testing I like it to be optional. Can someone give me a nice howto so I can see how to send out the mails. TIA, Sam
