As an example, see

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=b01c2fb5834aea0328db55c310caa34173021d3d

The way I prepare series like this for email is to use `git format-patch
staging --cover-letter` to render the entire series as patch files in
the local directory,  edit each patch to put suitable Cc: lines beside
the From: header, then `git send-email --dry-run *.patch
--suppress-cc=all` to check what it will actually send.  The Cc's in the
header section are included, but no automatic Cc's are generated from
content in the body.
