16 | DESCRIPTION | |
17 | ----------- | |
18 | Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out. | |
19 | ||
20 | The header of the email is configurable by command line options. If not | |
21 | specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine | |
22 | enabled interface to provide the necessary information. | |
23 | ||
24 | The 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. | |

55 | the first will be sent as replies to the first email sent. When using | |
56 | this, it is recommended that the first file given be an overview of the | |
57 | entire patch series. | |
