> you have to install and configure one of a handful of clients that doesn't mangle the patches first. git-am and git-send-email are used by some people. Submitting patches using those tools is just a matter of setting up the necessary parameters (email server and authentication information). But you can use any email client to participate in discussions about a patch series regardless of whether or not it mangles text (since review comments or further discussion obviously do not need to be applied to one's local copy of the code).
