I updated a local project, git-format-patch:ed, and then: $ git send-email --to=olpc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --no-signed-off-by-cc /tmp/0001-Add-myself-to-AUTHORS.txt Who should the emails appear to be from? Emails will be sent from: Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email? /tmp/0001-Add-myself-to-AUTHORS.txt Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/git-send-email line 392. (mbox) Adding cc: Horst H. von Brand <vonbrand@xxxxxxxxxxxx> from line 'From: Horst H. von Brand <vonbrand@xxxxxxxxxxxx>' OK. Log says: Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2006 10:27:39 -0300 Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail From: Subject: [PATCH] Add myself to AUTHORS Cc: Horst H. von Brand <vonbrand@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: olpc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Result: OK I didn't add a From:, per manpage it is assumed to be GIT_COMMITER_IDENT (from 'git-var -l' this is 'Horst H. von Brand <vonbrand@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 1167226309 -0300'). Note particularly the "Emails will be sent from:" line! The resulting message is formed right (it has a From: header), so this is just a UI glitch. The same output from 1.5.0rc0 here. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 2797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
