+A 'git-profile' utility was created to make above process less
+cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions,
+or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also
+requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't

+manually for once.

+The workflow with 'git-publish' is:
+
+  $ git checkout master -b my-feature
+  $ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each
+  $ git publish
+
+Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer
+back to it in the future.
+
+Sending v2:
+
+  $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch
+  $ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example)
+  $ git publish
+
+Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip
+will be tagged as my-feature-v2.
