The perlbug tool is increasingly used by perl community to send patches,
it has options to save report (perlbug.rep by default)
Ive started hacking it to use git send-email when used from inside the git repo
(theyve switched to git :-), and Id like to just use the file it writes.
I tried just passing file in as 1st arg, tool was unhappy:
[jimc@groucho perl]$ git send-email --dry-run perlbug.rep 0001-*
fatal: perlbug.rep: 61: patch contains a line longer than 998 characters
warning: no patches were sent
I dont want to turn off validation, but if I do, it appears to work,
but my test-send resulted in only the 2 patch files 0001-* arriving
at my inbox, it seems the 1st file (perlbug.rep) was silently rejected.
Indeed, on-screen output shows only 2 sends (below)
--body <file> seems an ideal solution:
it would read file, and act like --compose if the file were missing
critical stuff, or perhaps just error out.
thanks,
~jimc

Set sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to true if
you want to keep --chain-reply-to as your default.

The Cc list above has been expanded by additional
addresses found in the patch commit message. By default
send-email prompts before sending whenever this occurs.
This behavior is controlled by the sendemail.confirm
configuration setting.
For additional information, run 'git send-email --help'.
To retain the current behavior, but squelch this message,
run 'git config --global sendemail.confirm auto'.
