A few minor suggestions:
* Insert a link for the text "Software Release Practice HOWTO"
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Release-Practice-HOWTO/
* s/If you're made/If you've made/
* s/and you'll get/and you get/
* Also replace:
git format patch commit-sha1(-prefix)
by
git format patch <commit-sha1(-prefix)>
* s/to To: field/into To: field/
I also suggest that you insert at the beginning a simple use case:
# Please commit clean changes (see details in section "Committing")
$ git commit
| One line descr
|
| Long descr
# Check which commits to send
$ git log
# Prepare patches after 1f77...
$ git format patch 1f727c65ed864c4cdbb43456b5c8f130f69a193d
# Send to mailing list (test)
$ send-email --dry-run --compose 00*.patch
# Send to mailing list
$ send-email --compose 00*.patch
