I admit to being slightly "patch" impaired and have had it blow up on me more times than I've had it work cleanly. In addition, I like to review the submitted changes before I apply them, and I like to do that with emacs-ediff mode. Because of the way I prefer to do things, it's easiest and most convenient for me to receive whole copies of any files that are changed, rather than just the patches. Other people do things differently and prefer just the patches. I'd recommend using "diff -c" if you plan to submit just the patches. That gives a bit of context around each patch so the patch utility can tell if the underlying file has changed and fail "gracefully" rather than blindly applying a diff in the (now) wrong place.
