a version number and changelog annotations are helpful:
<pre>git send-email -1 -v2 --annotate --in-reply-to <Message-ID of the previous patch>
--to dev at dpdk.org --cc <everybody discussing the patch></pre>
+ <p>Another possibility is to use git format-patch:
+ <pre>git format-patch -1 --subject-prefix="PATCH v2"
+--in-reply-to <Message-ID of the previous patch></pre>
+ <p>Then use send email:
+ <pre>git send-email --to dev at dpdk.org --cc <everybody discussing
+the patch> <patch files></pre>
<p>Annotations take place after the 3 dashes and should explicit
what has changed since the previous version.
<p>In the case of a bug reported on the mailing list, the patch should be a reply to the bug report.
