Here is what I do:

 1. commit your changes to your local copy of the org-mode repository
 
 2. run the following command to wrap up the latest commit on your
       local copy of the repository into a file which can be attached
       to email messages

           git format-patch -o ~/temp/ HEAD~1

       after the command finished you will notice a new file in ~/temp
       with a name like 0001-commit-message-stuff.patch

hth,
Tom
