It uses a empty 'cover-letter' commit and automatically transforms it into exactly the right stuff. Keeps track of everything you send in git, and there is a little tool to auto-run git range-diff to help build change logs..

I've been occasionaly wondering if I should suggest Konstantin add a sending side to b4, maybe using some of those ideas..

The looks pretty fancy. Here is my trivial patchbomb.sh script
#!/bin/sh
COVERLETTER=$1 PATCHES=$2
git send-email --annotate --to-cover --cc-cover $1 $2
still needs the git basecommit..endcommit notation, but it fires up the series for review.
annotate is OK, I used that for a long time..
My main gripe was it didn't setup the to/cc until after the annotate editor closes.
