I've never sent patches using git before so I thought it would be useful to make a small test.

I read ./Documentation/SubmittingPatches and I sent these to myself and practiced applying them using `git am`, and I also compiled and checked the revised manual pages to see that they format correctly. Unfortunately it was too late to run 'git diff --check' because I had already committed the changes to my repo, but I don't see any whitespace highlighted when I run 'git log -p'.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, so please let me know what it is!
Here's the command I'll use to send the messages (without --dry-run):
git send-email --to "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>" --cc git@vger.kernel.org --cc-cmd ./contrib/contacts/git-contacts outgoing/ --dry-run

By the way for some reason git-contacts shows more names when I run it on the patch hash than when I give it the patch name:

$ ./contrib/contacts/git-contacts 222580cb60ee64f7b81fed64ec8fbfc81952557f Sébastien Guimmara <sebastien.guimmara@gmail.com> Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> $ ./contrib/contacts/git-contacts ./outgoing/0002-git-column.1-clarify-initial-description-provide-exa.patch Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Not sure what's going on here, but the changes I propose seem fairly straightforward...(?)

Frederick Eaton (3):
  git-archimport.1: specify what kind of Arch we're talking about
  git-column.1: clarify initial description, provide examples
  git-describe.1: clarify that "human readable" is also git-readable
