If you do this more than once in the same git tree you'll regret it :-)
("git send-email 0001-*" will happily retransmit all the old 0001-foo
patches along with the new one...) I use git-format-patch's -o option to
put my sent patches in a separate directory so they don't clutter up the
working tree.

I've updated the wiki page to mention git format-patch and git send-email.
Does anybody have a link to a decent short tutorial on how to use them?
If so, I think it would probably be helpful for us to put a link on the
SubmitAPatch page.
