[PATCH RFC 10/10] send-email: --compose takes optional argument to existing file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now, a user may specify an existing (in-progress) file to use as
the introductory/summary email.

The file is opened for any additional editing as usual, but it
is not deleted upon normal termination.

There are also a number of fixes to how the internals and
temporaries are handled.

---compose::
-	Use $GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, $VISUAL, or $EDITOR to edit an
-	introductory message for the patch series.
+--compose[=<path>]::
+	Use `$GIT_EDITOR`, 'core.editor', `$VISUAL`, or `$EDITOR`, or
+	`vi` to edit an introductory message for the patch series. A
+	path for the intermediate composition may be given. If the path
+	doesn't exist, a file with default contents is created at the
+	path and opened for editing. If the path does exist, then the
+	file at that path is opened for editing as-is. If no path is
+	specified, a new temporary file is created with some default
+	contents. Upon the successful completion of send-email, all
+	temporary files are automatically unlinked (deleted). However,
+	if send-email is terminated by a trappable signal, then this
+	temporary file is not unlinked, and the user is informed of its
+	path.
 +
-When '--compose' is used, git send-email will use the From, Subject, and
-In-Reply-To headers specified in the message. If the body of the message
-(what you type after the headers and a blank line) only contains blank
-(or GIT: prefixed) lines the summary won't be sent, but From, Subject,
-and In-Reply-To headers will be used unless they are removed.
+The user actually composes what will become a valid email message;
+therefore, the message must have the following form (as described in
+`RFC 822`):
 +
-Missing From or In-Reply-To headers will be prompted for.
+	<headers>
+	<blank line>
+	<body>
++
+In particular, `<headers>` must contain the "`Subject`" header. Once the
+user saves the message and quits the editor, this intermediate message is
+transformed into the final email message by removing all lines that begin
+with "`GIT:`". If the `<body>` of the final version is empty, then the
+email is not sent, and send-email proceeds as if '--compose' had never been
+used.
++
+The "`From`", "`Subject`", and "`In-Reply-To`" headers are taken directly
+from the message; missing "`From`" or "`In-Reply-To`" headers will be
+prompted for.
