Finally giving up on git-send-email (I won't install the 6 perl-modules

It's better than the perl version because;
1. It doesn't have any requirements other than normal unix-commands and 
"mail" being in the path.
2. It can generate the patches on the fly, using git-format-patch.

Great!

It's worse than the perl version because;
1. It doesn't thread the patch-series (which I personally prefer anyway 
since it's easier to follow a thread on a particular patch that way).

Not so great.  Why is it so much more difficult to have one more level
of nesting?  It's annoying, but it's a lot less annoying than having 19
separate threads that are all, in fact, related to each other.

2. The patches sent within the same second arrive in random order.

Perhaps adding a 'sleep 1' would help?  (The delay may be unacceptable
to some people, though.)
