The --suppress-from option doesn't work for me because the comparison is too strict.
Here's an example usage of git-send-email:
git-send-email --suppress-from --from timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --to timur@xxxxxxxx
--smtp-server remotesmtp.freescale.net 0001-Add-support-for-the-MPC8349E-mITX-GP.txt
I need to specify the --from option, because otherwise git-send-email will
prompt me for a From address, and I don't want it to prompt me for anything.
The problem is that the patchfile contains this line:
From: Timur Tabi <timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
That means that the patchfile contains the string "Timur Tabi
<timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>", but the --from specifies the string
"timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx". The code which checks the suppress-from option is here:
} elsif (/^(Cc|From):\s+(.*)$/) {
if ($2 eq $from) {
next if ($suppress_from);
}
I don't know Perl, but I'm guess the The "$2 eq $from" is a strict comparison
that fails in my case.
Some of you might say at this point, "Why don't you just specify --from "Timur
Tabi <timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>"? I tried that, and it still doesn't work.
Basically, what I want is to prevent git-send-email from CC'ing me on my own
patches. No matter what I do, I can't prevent it from adding "Cc: Timur Tabi
<timur@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" to the email header.
