Also, if you do send a series, *please* add a cover-letter explaining what the overall purpose of the series is, and have all patches chained in-reply-to that rather than patch 1. Otherwise reviewers have to reverse-engineer the intent of the author.
You can generate the cover letter with:
$ git format-patch --cover $FROM..$TO
... and IIRC git send-email does the right thing by default if you hand it all of the patches at once.
Thanks, Mark.
