I've never tried it that way.  The way I've always used it (almost
certainly isn't the only one) is simply "git format-patch origin/master"
(or some other branch) which produces a bunch of 000*.patch patch files,
then I look at the ones I want to send and pass them as arguments to
"git send-email".

Whenever upstream applies my patches, I sync my local copy with git
merge or git pull, I never do git cherry.

Anyway, I managed to get the cups patch applied after manually massaging
the headers at the top a bit, thanks.  (git am didn't recognize the
patch format as is.)
