These hints are in git's private SubmittingPatches document but a wider audience might be interested. 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 <jrnieder@gmail.com> --- 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.
