The commandline is

git send-email --to=... --cc=... --cc=... ... <base>
or
git send-email --to=... --cc=... --cc=... ... <base>..<end>

<base> is the commit you based your changes on. So you usually do

git checkout -b my-fix master
<hack hack hack>
git send-email ... master..my-fix

Then the receiver can simply pipe the email(s) to 'git am' to apply the
changes. Of course git send-email is not mandatory, but if you use it,
you can be sure that the patch will be applicable without further
processing.
