Instead of sending a new tar.gz file, I think the preferred way is to use 'git 
format-patch' to generate a list of patches, then compress them with XZ and 
send to the mailing list.

Example:

    ## If you started with this repository
    git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/administration/savane.git
    cd savane

    ## Then changes some files, and committed them with "git commit"
    $ git commit
    # change more files
    $ git commit
    # change more files
    $ git commit

    ## Now, to generate a patch containing your last three commits:
    $ git format-patch -3 --stdout | xz > 2014-09-05.patch.xz

Then send the file '2014-09-05.patch.xz' to the mailing list.
The file should not be too big, and it will be easy for other developers to 
import your changes.
