I like what you are doing but you missed a few key points here, i.e.
tools you rather must use and some additional remarks.
- be sure each patch has a commit message
- when prepare a patch series, run
% git format-patch -M -C -v<n> --cover-letter
where <n> is a version of the series
properly form a cover letter
% $EDITOR 0000-* # runs your editor against the cover letter template
- check with checkpatch.pl (in the scripts folder)
- take care about Cc list by running
% scripts/get_maintainer.pl --git --git-min-percent=67 00*
- and send with
% git send-email 00*
I have a script [1] which helps to send a series from a repository but
it does without the checkpatch step, you may probably want to tweak
it.
