One might think that you could now use Git to generate the patches, and follow the conventions to submit them...

For example, reviewing attached patches makes it unduly hard on the reviewers.

For example, you do not have any explanation AKA commit message.
For example, you use context diffs.

See Documentation/SubmittingPatches for more hints how to get your patches integrated.

Hth, Dscho
