It's easier to make real commits on a topic branch and use either git
send-email or git format-patch to create the properly formatted patch
files.
I personally use git send-email --annotate -N (where N is the number of
commits I want to create patches for. For example,
git send-email --annotate -1 if it is a single commit)
I have the following in my .git/config so that git send-email knows
where to send the resulting patches
,----[ .git/config ]

`----
Alternatively, git format-patch will create sequentially numbered files
which you can edit and mail manually from your email client.
