OK, I know I am a bad Git teacher, but from my p00r Git experiences...

I required some of the below options of 'git format-patch' for the
Freetz router project.

[ Fight with "p0" VS. "p1" patch-format aka w/ or w/o prefix ]

In general Freetz wants its patches in "p0" patch-format to fit its
own "freetz_patch" tool.
( When I asked on the Git ML people did not know/like the terms "p0"
and "p1" so it's in parenthesis. )
This means patches should NOT contain "a/" and "b/" prefixes.

       --no-prefix
           Do not show any source or destination prefix.

[ Add a "source" (override "a/") and a "destination" (override "b/") prefix ]

You will like this one :-).
In combination with the above I had to add
"--src-prefix=linux-2.6.13.1.orig" and -dst-prefix="linux-2.6.13.1"
for kernel-patches.
YES, my router has a very ancient kernel-release :-(!

       --src-prefix=<prefix>
           Show the given source prefix instead of "a/".

       --dst-prefix=<prefix>
           Show the given destination prefix instead of "b/".

[ Do NOT number patches in a series ]

And last but not least, I personally do not like to see "[PATCH]
12/23" in a series of patches.
Suppress this by using "--no-numbered" option.
NOTE: For a single patch this option is useless :-)!

       -N, --no-numbered
           Name output in [PATCH] format.

[ bonbon: cover-letter aka 0/x or 00/yy or 000/zzz (IMHO zzz is more a
"love-letter" :-)) ]

       --cover-letter
           In addition to the patches, generate a cover letter file
containing the shortlog and the overall diffstat. You can fill in a
description in the file before sending it out.

I like when people send a cover-letter where they put all the relevant
informations for the ***complete*** patch-series.
This is very helpful for people who want to review.
So, you can reply comments to the cover-letter-email for a general discussions.
Comments on the single patches you can do appropriately.

A book recommendation for German speaking people (see [1])...
( IMPORTANT NOTE: I get no money for doing marketing for the book! )

Hope this helps you :-)!
But make your own Git experiences!
