That's weird. I'm using this to generate the patches:

	git format-patch -o $tmp_dir --stat --summary --patience --signoff --thread=shallow

plus some scripting that runs scripts/get_maintainers.

After that, I run:

	git send-email $tmp_dir

Then, exim sends the patches to a smart SMTP server (currently,
infradead.org, but I'm switching to s-opensource.org, as I'm getting
some troubles because the IP doesn't match the From: line).

Thanks,
Mauro
