+Checklist (and a short version for the impatient):
+
+ - make commits of logical units
+ - check for unnecessary whitespace with "git diff --check"
+ before committing
+ - do not check in commented out code or unneeded files
+ - provide a meaningful commit message
+ - the first line of the commit message should be a short
+ description and should skip the full stop
+ - if you want your work included in git.git, add a
+ "Signed-off-by: Your Name <your@email.com>" line to the
+ commit message (or just use the option "-s" when
+ committing) to confirm that you agree to the Developer's
+ Certificate of Origin
+ - do not PGP sign your patch
+ - use "git format-patch -M" to create the patch
+ - do not attach your patch, but read in the mail
+ body, unless you cannot teach your mailer to
+ leave the formatting of the patch alone.
+ - be careful doing cut & paste into your mailer, not to
+ corrupt whitespaces.
+ - provide additional information (which is unsuitable for
+ the commit message) between the "---" and the diffstat
+ - send the patch to the list _and_ the maintainer

I started reading over the SubmittingPatches document for Linux
kernel, primarily because I wanted to have a document similar to
it for the core GIT to make sure people understand what they are

message in raw form before using '|' to run the pipe can work
this problem around.

+KMail
+-----
+
+This should help you to submit patches inline using KMail.
+
+1) Prepare the patch as a text file.
+
+2) Click on New Mail.
+
+3) Go under "Options" in the Composer window and be sure that
+"Word wrap" is not set.
+
+4) Use Message -> Insert file... and insert the patch.
+
+5) Back in the compose window: add whatever other text you wish to the
+message, complete the addressing and subject fields, and press send.
