We recommend to post patches using <code>git send-email</code>
git send-email --cover-letter --no-chain-reply-to --annotate \
--confirm=always --to=criu@openvz.org criu-dev
Note that the <code>git send-email</code> subcommand may not be in
the main git package and using it may require installation of a
separate package, for example the "git-email" package in Fedora and
Debian.
If this is your first time using git send-email, you might need to
configure it to point it to your SMTP server with something like:
git config --global sendemail.smtpServer stmp.example.net
If you get tired of typing <code>--to=criu@openvz.org</code> all the time,
you can configure that to be automatically handled as well:
git config sendemail.to criu@openvz.org
If a developer is sending another version of the patch (e.g. to address
review comments), they are advised to note differences to previous versions
after the <code>---</code> line in the patch so that it helps reviewers but
doesn't become part of git history. Moreover, such patch needs to be prefixed
correctly with <code>--subject-prefix=PATCHv2</code> appended to
<code>git send-email</code> (substitute <code>v2</code> with the correct
version if needed though).
