2008-03-19Document the sendemail.smtpserverport config variableLibravatar Kevin Ballard1-0/+3
Add sendemail.smtpserverport to the Configuration section of the git-send-email manpage. It should probably be referenced in the --smtp-server-port option as well. Signed-off-by: Kevin Ballard <kevin@sb.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-02-05git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient mechanism.Libravatar David Brown1-0/+11
There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic generation of 'Cc' fields: --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically includes Cc'd recipients. This is not desirable for all development environments. Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be suppressed. If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. The categories are: self - patch sender. Same as --suppress-from. author - patch author. cc - cc lines mentioned in the patch. cccmd - avoid running the cccmd. sob - signed off by lines. all - all non-explicit recipients Signed-off-by: David Brown <git@davidb.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-05git-send-email: ssh/login style password requestsLibravatar Michael Witten1-5/+34
Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially foolish to store them in configuration files, even with access permissions set accordingly. git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts for the password and masks the input for privacy. Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered optional. The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-1/+1
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]].

By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-10-24git-send-email: add a new sendemail.to configuration variableLibravatar Miklos Vajna1-0/+3

2007-09-26send-email --smtp-server-port: allow overriding the default portLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
You can use --smtp-server-port option to specify a port different from the default (typically, SMTP servers listen to smtp port 25 and ssmtp port 465). Users should be aware that sending auth info over non-ssl connections may be unsafe or just may not work at all depending on SMTP server config.

2007-09-03send-email: Add support for SSL and SMTP-AUTHLibravatar Douglas Stockwell1-1/+34
Allows username and password to be given using --smtp-user and --smtp-pass. SSL use is flagged by --smtp-ssl. These are backed by corresponding defaults in the git configuration file. This implements Junio's 'mail identity' suggestion in a slightly more generalised manner. --identity=$identity, backed by sendemail.identity indicates that the configuration subsection [sendemail "$identity"] should take priority over the [sendemail] section for all configuration values.

2007-07-20Add GIT_EDITOR environment and core.editor configuration variablesLibravatar Adam Roben1-2/+2
These variables let you specify an editor that will be launched in preference to the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables. The order of preference is GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, EDITOR, VISUAL.

2007-06-27git-send-email: make options easier to configure.Libravatar Adam Roben1-10/+14
This change makes git-send-email's behavior easier to modify by adding config equivalents for two more of git-send-email's flags. The mapping of flag to config setting is: --[no-]supress-from => sendemail.suppressfrom --[no-]signed-off-cc => sendemail.signedoffcc It renames the --threaded option to --thread/--no-thread; the config variable is also called sendemail.thread.

2007-06-26git-send-email: Add --threaded optionLibravatar Adam Roben1-0/+7
The --threaded option controls whether the In-Reply-To header will be set on any emails sent. The current behavior is to always set this header, so this option is most useful in its negated form, --no-threaded. This behavior can also be controlled through the 'sendemail.threaded' config setting. Signed-off-by: Adam Roben <aroben@apple.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+1
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-03-18Make git-send-email aware of Cc: lines.Libravatar J. Bruce Fields1-1/+2
In the Linux kernel, for example, it's common to include Cc: lines for cases when you want to remember to cc someone on a patch without necessarily claiming they signed off on it.

2007-03-11git-send-email: configurable bcc and chain-reply-toLibravatar Avi Kivity1-1/+9
Chain-reply-to is a personal perference, and is unlikely to change from patchset to patchset. Similarly, bcc is likely to have the same values every invocation is one likes to bcc oneself.

2006-06-22Check and document the options to prevent mistakes.Libravatar Eric W. Biederman1-0/+9
When multiple recipients are given to git-send-email on the same --cc line the code does not properly handle it. Full and proper parsing of the email addresses so I can detect which commas mean a new email address is more than I care to implement. In particular this email address: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@intel.com> must not be treated as two email addresses. So this patch simply treats all commas in recipient lists as an error and fails if one is given. At the same time it documents that git-send-email wants multiple instances of --cc specified on the command line if you want to cc multiple recipients. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2005-10-03[PATCH] Random documentation fixesLibravatar Jonas Fonseca1-7/+9
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy: - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on included files. - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional info. - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc. - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text. - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----) for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML block. - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists. - Fix linking to other GIT docs. - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

2005-09-07Big tool rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+79
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences since 0.99.6 are: (1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if something is implemented as a shell script or not. (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with 'index' if that is what they mean. There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near future.
