Here's how I do it: Make your commits on a separate branch as if you'd
push them directly to the repo. Use 'git format-patch' to generate
patch files and use 'git send-email' to send them. You can skip
format-patch and just use send-email but for a changeset of 21 commits
I'd like to take another look.

git format-patch --stat --summary -o bug558642_v3/ -n -v3
- --cover-letter master..devmanual-git-migration-v3

Creates the patches. '--cover-letter' creates a special patch file
that requires editing which becomes the first email in the series,
which is the one you replied to.

Once satisfied, I sent it with:

git send-email *

Keep in mind that git will CC authors of the patches and yourself to
the email. So you may have to adjust those.

Don't forget to edit your .gitconfig and set proper SMTP options in
the [sendemail] section.
