+@subsubsection Preparing Patches
+
+@findex vc-prepare-patch
+When collaborating on projects it is common to send patches via email,
+to share changes. If you wish to do this using VC, you can use the
+@code{vc-prepare-patch} command. This will prompt you for the
+revisions you wish to share, and which destination email address(es)
+to use. The command will then prepare those revisions using your
+@abbr{MUA, Mail User Agent} for you to review and send.
+
+@vindex vc-prepare-patches-separately
+Depending on the value of the user option
+@code{vc-prepare-patches-separately}, @code{vc-prepare-patch} will
+generate one or more messages. The default value @code{t} means
+prepare and display a message for each revision, one after another. A
+value of @code{nil} means to generate a single message with all
+patches attached in the body.
+
+@vindex vc-default-patch-addressee
+If you expect to contribute patches on a regular basis, you can set
+the user option @code{vc-default-patch-addressee} to the address(es)
+you wish to use. This will be used as the default value when invoking
+@code{vc-prepare-patch}. Project maintainers may consider setting
+this as a directory local variable (@pxref{Directory Variables}).

@node Customizing VC
@subsection Customizing VC
It is used to style the line that separates the 'log-edit' headers
from the 'log-edit' summary.
+---
+*** The function 'vc-read-revision' accepts a new MULTIPLE argument.
+If non-nil, multiple revisions can be queried. This is done using
+'completing-read-multiple'.
+
+---
+*** New function 'vc-read-multiple-revisions'
+This function invokes 'vc-read-revision' with a non-nil value for
+MULTIPLE.
+
++++
+*** New command 'vc-prepare-patch'.
+Patches for any version control system can be prepared using VC. The
+command will query what commits to send and will compose messages for
+your mail user agent. The behaviour of 'vc-prepare-patch' can be
+modified by the user options 'vc-prepare-patches-separately' and
+'vc-default-patch-addressee'.
