16DESCRIPTION
17-----------
18Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
19
20The header of the email is configurable by command line options. If not
21specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
22enabled interface to provide the necessary information.
23
24The options available are:
25
26 --to
27 Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
28 Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
29 project involved.
30
31 --from
32 Specify the sender of the emails. This will default to
33 the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l".
34 The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry.
35
36 --subject
37 Specify the initial subject of the email thread.
38
39 --in-reply-to
40 Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
41 Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email
42 instead of this.
43 When overriding on the command line, it may be necessary
44 to set this to a space. For example
45 --in-reply-to=" "
