23 | OPTIONS |
| 24 | ------- | |
| 479cec96 RA |
25 | The options available are: |
| 26 | ||
| df8baa42 | 27 | --to:: |
| 479cec96 RA |
28 | Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated. |
| 29 | Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the | |
| 30 | project involved. | |
| 31 | ||
| df8baa42 | 32 | --from:: |
| 479cec96 RA |
33 | Specify the sender of the emails. This will default to |
| 34 | the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l". | |
| 35 | The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry. | |
| 36 | ||
| df8baa42 | 37 | --compose:: |
| f9e320c3 RA |
38 | Use \$EDITOR to edit an introductory message for the |
| 39 | patch series. | |
| 40 | ||
| df8baa42 | 41 | --subject:: |
| 479cec96 | 42 | Specify the initial subject of the email thread. |
| f9e320c3 RA |
43 | Only necessary if --compose is also set. If --compose |
| 44 | is not set, this will be prompted for. | |
| 479cec96 | 45 | |
| df8baa42 | 46 | --in-reply-to:: |
| 479cec96 RA |
47 | Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header. |
| 48 | Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email | |
| f9e320c3 RA |
49 | instead of this if --chain-reply-to is set (the default) |

| df8baa42 | 53 | --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to:: |
| a6d62cdd RA |
54 | If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous |
| 55 | email sent. If disabled with "--no-chain-reply-to", all emails after | |
| 56 | the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent. When using | |
| 57 | this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the | |
| 58 | entire patch series. | |
| 59 | Default is --chain-reply-to | |
