I do my work on some branch besides master. Then, I ctrl-R this from my
shell's history:

$ git send-email --to guix-devel@gnu.org -n --annotate --cover-letter --thread=shallow master

I almost never actually need to '--annotate' the patches; I'll probably
remove that.

It requires some configuration, which I put in '~/.gitconfig', but you
could also put it in something like '~/guix/.git/config. I'm not sure
what the minimum configuration is. Here's what I think is relevant:

[sendemail]
        smtpserver = example.com
        smtpserverport = 465 # depends on your server
        smtpuser = you@example.com
        smtpencryption = ssl # optional
