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. -- Paolo http://paolo.ciarrocchi.googlepages.com/
