If the above command line is sufficient for users, "git send-email"
does not need its feature to drive format-patch and do

    git format-patch -o outgo/. -2 HEAD &&
    git send-email --to=[email-masked] ./outgo/*.patch

I used to think that way and I was naive ;-) But such an argument
completely misses the point of various send-email options that allow
the user to tweak CC: list programatically, compose the cover
letter, etc., doesn't it?
