git-send-email: die if sendmail.* config is set
I've seen several people mis-configure git send-email on their first attempt because they set the sendmail.* config options - not sendemail.*. This patch detects this mistake and bails out with a friendly warning. Signed-off-by: Drew DeVault <sir@cmpwn.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
