if (( $# < 2 )); then
  echo "usage: ${0##*/}: <project> <options to git send-email>"
  exit 1
fi

exec git format-patch --to arch-projects at archlinux.org
--subject-prefix="$1] [PATCH" "${@:2}"

This creates the patch files in the current directory so you can review
them. Then run `git send-email *.patch`. (I think they end with .patch,
but I'm not sure right now and I don't wanna test)
