+Sending patch series
+
+Preferred format is shallow thread:
+[PATCH 0/X] XXXXXX
+ |_ [PATCH 1/X] YYYYYYYY
+ |_ [PATCH 2/X] ZZZZZZZZ
+
+Configure your git:
+cd <local copy of ltp repo>
+git config sendemail.thread false
+git config format.thread shallow
+git config format.numbered auto
+git config sendemail.signoffbycc false
+git config sendemail.suppresscc all
+git config sendemail.suppressfrom true
+git config sendemail.smtpserver "your.smtp.server"
+git config sendemail.confirm always
+
+Example, sending series consisting of 2 patches with git send-email:
+1. git format-patch --attach -2 --cover-letter
+2. edit subject and body of cover letter: 0000-cover-letter.patch
+3. git send-email --to [email protected] \
+ 0000-cover-letter.patch 0001-part1.patch 0002-part2.patch
