Move them to the "git format-patch" manpage. I'm not sure what gotchas these hints are meant to work around. They might be completely false. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder --- A quick search for "how to send patches with KMail" gave me the "external editor" trick. Do these instructions work? ;-) Anyway, this patch reuses the current instructions from SubmittingPatches as-is.
