It would be really nice if you add "review them here before you run
send-email" step between these two commands ;-).
I alwyays use

    git format-patch ... -opatchez
    cat patchez/* | less

Because sending out something weird to a mailing list gives me the
chills.  (And there might be format-patch bugs.)
Thanks for a tip.

It matches what I do, except that I use ./+jc/<topic-name>/
directories as the staging area, as I tend to keep what I sent out
for a few days, and I strongly prefer to give its own directory to
each topic, to avoid "git send-email *.patch" sending out random
unrelated patches.
