Here is how I do that:

* Exporting Patches

git format-patch \
        --subject-prefix="PATCH" \
        --output-directory ./patches/topic \
        --numbered \
        --thread=shallow \
        --cover-letter \
        master..topic

Edit cover letter to taste.

* Sending Patches

git send-email \
        --to="<linuxptp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>" \
        --suppress-cc=self \
        --no-thread --no-format-patch \
        --dry-run \
        ./patches/topic

Then, if it looks ok, repeat without --dry-run.

HTH,
Richard
