Thanks for your effort on improving git!

Please have a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches in git[1],
specially section "(4) Sending your patches." so discussion on the
patches is easier.

The easiest way to comply with all these rules outlined in SubmittingPatches
is to use git format-patch and git send-email (as they follow the best
practice).

I recently wrote about my experiences when sending patches to the git
mailing list,
including how to configure git send-email[2], maybe that helps.

Thanks,
Stefan
