Subject: Howto send many commits as mail-patches?
Message-ID: <20060103113859.GA15832@mars.ravnborg.org>

Hi all.

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 <sam@ravnborg.org>" --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
