I mean a patch for a commit produced with git format-patch.  For
example, to produce a set of patches for the last 4 commits in your
local branch you can use

    $ git format-patch -n4

This is useful because we can easily install the patches preserving
author and messages.

Ok, fine.  According to http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/300 `hg email
--git' is the Mercurial equivalent of `git format-patch'.  Make sure
your commit has the ChangeLog entry as commit message, like what we
usually do in AUCTeX.

Bye,
