It certainly happened to a lot of people already: you carefully prepare
your set of patches, export them using format-patch --cover-letter,
write your cover letter, and send the set like this:

$ git send-email --to=somerenowneddeveloper --to=myfutureemployer
  --cc=thismailinglistiwanttoimpress 00*

Why don't you use 00*.patch ? That seems dubious to me to ignore files
specified on the command line.

For the same reason I do not list all the patches individually on the
command line: laziness.

The goal of this patch is in no way to argue that using send-email
like this is a recommandable way. It just adds a safeguard on a
use-case that is probably not so uncommon.
