From fb34fe6a24e81c5568b0016d6d067ff8d840a244 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 13:13:50 +0200 Subject: send-email: only consider lines containing @ or <> for automatic Cc'ing While the address sanitizations routines do accept local addresses, that is almost never what is meant in a Cc or Signed-off-by trailer. Looking through all the signed-off-by lines in the linux kernel tree without a @, there are mostly two patterns: Either just a full name, or a full name followed by (i.e., with the word at instead of a @), and minor variations. For cc lines, the same patterns appear, along with lots of "cc stable" variations that do not actually name stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: stable # introduced pre-git times cc: stable.kernel.org In the cases, one gets a chance to interactively fix it. But when there is no <> pair, it seems we end up just using the first word as a (local) address. As the number of cases where a local address really was meant is likely (and anecdotally) quite small compared to the number of cases where we end up cc'ing a garbage address, insist on at least a @ or a <> pair being present. This is also preparation for the next patch, where we are likely to encounter even more non-addresses in -by lines, such as Reported-by: Coverity Patch-generated-by: Coccinelle Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- git-send-email.perl | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/git-send-email.perl b/git-send-email.perl index 2be5dac337..1916159d2a 100755 --- a/git-send-email.perl +++ b/git-send-email.perl @@ -1694,6 +1694,11 @@ sub process_file { next if $suppress_cc{'sob'} and $what =~ /Signed-off-by/i; next if $suppress_cc{'bodycc'} and $what =~ /Cc/i; } + if ($c !~ /.+@.+|<.+>/) { + printf("(body) Ignoring %s from line '%s'\n", + $what, $_) unless $quiet; + next; + } push @cc, $c; printf(__("(body) Adding cc: %s from line '%s'\n"), $c, $_) unless $quiet; -- cgit v1.2.3
