I use git send-email, but I don't use it blindly. If I use it directly,
I give it a trial first with --dry-run. For patch series I use a directory
to collect the patches and then use a script to actually send them.
Sometimes I also use --cc-cmd with a script I have written to automatically
add Cc's, but never without dry-run.
