Git has 'git format-patch' which can be used to easily generate plain-text
patch mails with the correct formatting for git to then apply it nicely.

Here's where a private branch would be nice - tell git that you want to
create a branch at the point before you have done reviews, then you can
use 'git cherry-pick' to pull in one patch at a time, to review the patch
in isolation.  You can also use 'git-tag' to create private tags, and/or
adjust which commit the tag points to.  'git-bisect' will make it easier
to do a binary search through a series of commits for a particular regression.
