So, I'm a user that does 'git format-patch --cover-letter=auto origin' so I don't have the format.coverletter=auto configuration. Why? Why am I not setting that configuration, and why am I running --cover-letter=auto? The only reason I can think of is that I ran 'git format-patch origin' and it didn't do what I wanted (or I knew befeorehand). What other reason could the user possibly have? -- Felipe Contreras -- 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
