This will default to + the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l". + The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry. + + --subject + Specify the initial subject of the email thread. + + --in-reply-to + Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header. + Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email + instead of this. + When overriding on the command line, it may be necessary + to set this to a space. For example + --in-reply-to=" " + + --chain-reply-to, --no-chain-reply-to + If this is set, each email will be sent as a reply to the previous + email sent.
