At Dimis request, I've added a new script to the root of the gateway tree.
The genpatch program takes a series of patch ids as parameters and can generate and send an email to wine-patches with the combined diff of all the given commits.
For example: let's say you are working on a feature. You do 3 commits, to keep the changes physically separate, however you decide the commits are too fine grained to submit all at once, so you want to submit them together.
Genpatch makes that easy. Say you commit patch-4, patch-5 and patch-6:
./genpatch -m 4 5 6
will compute the combined differential of all those commits, take the commit log and summary of the first and generate an email from them. The patch will include and new files that were added.
Have fun!
