Coccinelle provides a tool tools/splitpatch (go to the tools subdirectory of the Coccinelle distribution and run make) that splits patches by set of maintainers (the default), by directory (--dirmerge option), or by file (--nomerge option). There is a file tools/splitpatch.README that explains the various ways that it can be used, but the simplest is to create a patch normally using git format-patch -s, obtaining eg 0001-changes.patch, and then run splitpatch 0001-changes.patch The output will include a 0001-changes.cover file, a set of 0001-changesN.patch files with the various split patches, and a 0001-changes.cmd file for sending it off with git send-email. This is available in the latest github version of Coccinelle. Comments are welcome. julia
