It looks like you're pasting diffs into your email client, which makes
it harder for others to apply them with `git am`. When I'm submitting
patches via email, I usually do something like:
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -v3 -o my-fix $(git merge-base my-fix m=
aster)
$ emacs my-fix/v3-0000-cover-letter.patch
=E2=80=A6 fill in subject and summarize changes since v2 =E2=80=A6
$ git send-email --to gentoo-catalyst@lists.gentoo.org \
--in-reply-to '<message-id-for-v2@me.invalid>' my-fix/v3-*
Where `my-fix` is the name of my feature branch. The `-v3` option
requires Git =E2=89=A51.8.2 for -v/--reroll-count, before that you had to u=
se
something like `--subject-prefix 'PATCH v3'` [1].
By default, `send-email` will try and send the emails with `sendmail`.
If you don't have a working version of sendmail installed, you can
configure it to use SMTP instead [2,3].
By using the format-patch/send-email pair, you avoid copy/paste errors
and tedium. You also have author information and commit messages
preserved in a form that `git am` understands. Wins for everybody ;).
Cheers,
Trevor
