TopGit has been designed around three main tenets:

on others, TopGit ignores the ancient Quilt heritage of patch series

In case of the quilt mode,

mode of operation is currently not supported with collapse.
- Usage: tg export ([--collapse] BRANCH | --quilt DIR)
+ In '--quilt' mode the patches are named like the originating topgit
+ branch. So usually they end up in subdirectories of the output
+ directory. With option '--flatten' the names are mangled such that
+ they end up directly in the output dir (i.e. slashed are substituted by
+ underscores). With '--numbered' (which implies '--flatten') the patch
+ names get a number as prefix to allow getting the order without
+ consulting the series file, which eases sending out the patches.

When mailing out your patch, basically only few extra headers
mail headers are inserted and the patch itself is appended.
Thus, as your patches evolve, you can record nuances like whether
-the paricular patch should have To-list/Cc-maintainer or vice
+the particular patch should have To-list/Cc-maintainer or vice
versa and similar nuances, if your project is into that.
