it is a very nice idea to use git-send-email together with git-format-patch --stdout, but i think, maybe i do something wrong... I tried that cli-syntax Junio mentioned in "Whats in git.git"

git format-patch --stdout <branch_01>..<branch_02>|git send-email --to <email_address>

and got a "Error: Please specify a file or a directory on the command line.".

Besides, git asks me for a From-Header (which is fixed with this patch, I suppose)

I use git 1.2.0 directly from your git-repository.

so actually git-send-email does not work with this syntax above.

If I first produce the patches, save them into another directory and afterwards give git-send-email that directory for lunch, it works...

is there any other work-around for this everyday-task but a shellscript which temporarily creates a patch-dir which contains the patches and removes it after git-send-email is done with it?
