If only everything was as easy as it sounds. Unfortunately
git-send-email was for long time unavailable to Windows users and even
now it is barely usable and hard to configure. TortoiseGit once again
doesn't work because of the changed setting on the nongnu.org mail
server... For me it is never-ending battle, instead of working on QEMU
I have to "fix" the GIT tools to send the patches properly each time I
want to send a patch.
