 Note that the "easy" way to do this is:

1. yum install git-email
2. git config sendemail.to yum-devel at lists.baseurl.org

[... whenever you have commits instead of git push ...]

3. git send-email origin/yum-3_2_X

[... or if you want to send just a single commit ...]

    git send-email id^..id
Eg. git send-email
5f7fd9f98a23d05a9ca439e1b30f5d2926c882b3^..5f7fd9f98a23d05a9ca439e1b30f5d2926c882b3

...and yeh, the later looks like pants :).
