2019-09-09Documentation: wrap config listings in "----"Libravatar Martin Ågren1-5/+7
The indented lines in these example config-file listings are indented differently by AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor. Fix this by marking the example config-files as code listings by wrapping them in "----". Because this gives us some extra indentation, we can remove the one that we have been carrying explicitly. That is, drop the first tab of indentation on each line. With AsciiDoc, this results in identical rendering before and after this commit. Asciidoctor now renders this the same as AsciiDoc does. git-config.txt pretty consistently uses twelve dashes rather than the minimum four to spell "----". Let's stick to the file-local convention there. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2019-05-31send-email: update documentation of required Perl modulesLibravatar Chris Mayo1-2/+6
Improve and complete the list of required email related Perl modules, clarifying which are core Perl modules and remove Net::SMTP::SSL. git-send-email uses the TLS support in the Net::SMTP core module from recent versions of Perl. Documenting the minimum version is complex because of separate numbering for Perl (5.21.5~169), Net:SMTP (2.34) and libnet (3.01). Version numbers from commit: bfbfc9a953 ("send-email: Net::SMTP::starttls was introduced in v2.34", 2017-05-31). Users of older Perl versions without Net::SMTP::SSL installed will get a clear error message. Signed-off-by: Chris Mayo <aklhfex@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-05-29send-email: fix regression in sendemail.identity parsingLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+4
Fix a regression in my recent 3494dfd3ee ("send-email: do defaults -> config -> getopt in that order", 2019-05-09). I missed that the $identity variable needs to be extracted from the command-line before we do the config reading, as it determines which config variable we should read first. See [1] for the report. The sendemail.identity feature was added back in 34cc60ce2b ("send-email: Add support for SSL and SMTP-AUTH", 2007-09-03), there were no tests to assert that it worked properly. So let's fix both the regression, and add some tests to assert that this is being parsed properly. While I'm at it I'm adding a --no-identity option to go with --[to|cc|bcc] variable, since the semantics are similar. It's like to/cc/bcc except that unlike those we don't support multiple identities, but we could now easily add it support for it if anyone cares. In just fixing the --identity command-line parsing bug I discovered that a narrow fix to that wouldn't do. In read_config() we had a state machine that would only set config values if they weren't set already, and thus by proxy we wouldn't e.g. set "to" based on sendemail.to if we'd seen sendemail.gmail.to before, with --identity=gmail. I'd modified some of the relevant code in 3494dfd3ee, but just reverting to that wouldn't do, since it would bring back the regression fixed in that commit. Refactor read_config() do what we actually mean here. We don't want to set a given sendemail.VAR if a sendemail.$identity.VAR previously set it. The old code was conflating this desire with the hardcoded defaults for these variables, and as discussed in 3494dfd3ee that was never going to work. Instead pass along the state of whether an identity config set something before, as distinguished from the state of the default just being false, or the default being a non-bool or true (e.g. --transferencoding). I'm still not happy with the test coverage here, e.g. there's nothing testing sendemail.smtpEncryption, but I only have so much time to fix this code. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/5cddeb61.1c69fb81.47ed4.e648@mx.google.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-10-23send-email: explicitly disable authenticationLibravatar Joshua Watt1-1/+6
It can be necessary to disable SMTP authentication by a mechanism other than sendemail.smtpuser being undefined. For example, if the user has sendemail.smtpuser set globally but wants to disable authentication locally in one repository. --smtp-auth and sendemail.smtpauth now understand the value 'none' which means to disable authentication completely, even if an authentication user is specified. The value 'none' is lower case to avoid conflicts with any RFC 4422 authentication mechanisms.

2018-07-09send-email: automatically determine transfer-encodingLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+1
git send-email, when invoked without a --transfer-encoding option, sends 8bit data without a MIME version or a transfer encoding. This has several downsides. First, unless the transfer encoding is specified, it defaults to 7bit, meaning that non-ASCII data isn't allowed. Second, if lines longer than 998 bytes are used, we will send an message that is invalid according to RFC 5322. The --validate option, which is the default, catches this issue, but it isn't clear to many people how to resolve this. To solve these issues, default the transfer encoding to "auto", so that we explicitly specify 8bit encoding when lines don't exceed 998 bytes and quoted-printable otherwise. This means that we now always emit Content-Transfer-Encoding and MIME-Version headers, so remove the conditionals from this portion of the code. It is unlikely that the unconditional inclusion of these two headers will affect the deliverability of messages in anything but a positive way, since MIME is already widespread and well understood by most email programs.

With --validate (which is the default), we warn about lines exceeding 998 characters due to the limits specified in RFC 5322. However, if we're using a suitable transfer encoding (quoted-printable or base64), we're guaranteed not to have lines exceeding 76 characters, so there's no need to fail in this case. The auto transfer encoding handles this specific case, so accept it as well. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-07-09send-email: add an auto option for transfer encodingLibravatar brian m. carlson1-4/+7
For most patches, using a transfer encoding of 8bit provides good compatibility with most servers and makes it as easy as possible to view patches. However, there are some patches for which 8bit is not a valid encoding: RFC 5322 specifies that a message must not have lines exceeding 998 octets. Add a transfer encoding value, auto, which indicates that a patch should use 8bit where allowed and quoted-printable otherwise. Choose quoted-printable instead of base64, since base64-encoded plain text is treated as suspicious by some spam filters.

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this.

Some email servers (e.g. smtp.163.com) limit the number emails to be sent per session (connection) and this will lead to a faliure when sending many messages. Teach send-email to disconnect after sending a number of messages (configurable via the --batch-size=<num> option), wait for a few seconds (configurable via the --relogin-delay=<seconds> option) and reconnect, to work around such a limit. Also add two configuration variables to give these options the default. Note: We will use this as a band-aid for now, but in the longer term, we should look at and react to the SMTP error code from the server; Xianqiang reports that 450 and 451 are returned by problematic servers. cf. https://public-inbox.org/git/7993e188.d18d.15c3560bcaf.Coremail.zxq_yx_007@163.com/ Signed-off-by: xiaoqiang zhao <zxq_yx_007@163.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-11-25git-send-email: add --transfer-encoding optionLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-0/+10
The thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/257392 details problems when applying patches with "git am" in a repository with CRLF line endings. In the example in the thread, the repository originated from "git-svn" so it is not possible to use core.eol and friends on it. Right now, the best option is to use "git am --keep-cr". However, when a patch create new files, the patch application process will reject the new file because it finds a "/dev/null\r" string instead of "/dev/null". The problem is that SMTP transport is CRLF-unsafe. Sending a patch by email is the same as passing it through "dos2unix | unix2dos". The newly introduced CRLFs are normally transparent because git-am strips them. The keepcr=true setting preserves them, but it is mostly working by chance and it would be very problematic to have a "git am" workflow in a repository with mixed LF and CRLF line endings. The MIME solution to this is the quoted-printable transfer enconding. This is not something that we want to enable by default, since it makes received emails horrible to look at. However, it is a very good match for projects that store CRLF line endings in the repository. The only disadvantage of quoted-printable is that quoted-printable patches fail to apply if the maintainer uses "git am --keep-cr". This is because the decoded patch will have two carriage returns at the end of the line. Therefore, add support for base64 transfer encoding too, which makes received emails downright impossible to look at outside a MUA, but really just works. The patch covers all bases, including users that still live in the late 80s, by also providing a 7bit content transfer encoding that refuses to send emails with non-ASCII character in them. And finally, "8bit" will add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header but otherwise do nothing. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
