2008-11-11git send-email: ask less questions when --compose is used.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-0/+9
When --compose is used, we can grab the From/Subject/In-Reply-To from the edited summary, let it be so and don't ask the user silly questions. The summary templates gets quite revamped, and includes the list of patches subjects that are going to be sent with this batch. When having a body full of empty lines, the summary isn't sent. Document that in the git-send-email manpage fully. Note: It doesn't deal with To/Cc/Bcc yet. Signed-off-by: Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-11-11git send-email: add --annotate optionLibravatar Pierre Habouzit1-0/+11
This allows to review every patch (and fix various aspects of them, or comment them) in an editor just before being sent. Combined to the fact that git send-email can now process revision lists, this makes git send-email and efficient way to review and send patches interactively.

2008-10-01send-email: signedoffcc -> signedoffbycc, but handle bothLibravatar Michael Witten1-1/+1
The documentation now mentions sendemail.signedoffbycc instead of sendemail.signedoffcc in order to match with the options --signed-off-by-cc; the code has been updated to reflect this as well, but sendemail.signedoffcc is still handled.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-25git-send-email: add support for TLS via Net::SMTP::SSLLibravatar Thomas Rast1-4/+12
We do this by handing over the Net::SMTP instance to Net::SMTP::SSL, which avoids Net::SMTP::TLS and its weird error checking. This trick is due to Brian Evins. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-4/+8
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

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.

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.

2007-06-27git-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>

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.
