Hi, I tried to use format-patch and send-email but I think I am misusing them because it does not react as I would expect. First, here is how git log looks like on my little repository: commit 50c7032fa011b1e5c7bd63e4bc474c802017677d Author: Xavier Maillard <zedek@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 16 20:20:18 2007 +0100 * Added 2007 to the copyright notice * Added a note on relation between org-publish and blorg * Changed/corrected things here and there * Added a warning on needed skills before manipulating your own templates commit 0e35f7847c7becc52ebcd51d9b043c626f9b3b3f Author: Xavier Maillard <zedek@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 16 20:03:42 2007 +0100 new file: doc/blorg.texi (original version) Now I want to extract a patch and set it ready to be sent (I added head -20 just to illustrate my problem): git-format-patch --stdout -k 0e35f7847c7becc52ebcd51d9b043c626f9b3b3f | head -12 >From 50c7032fa011b1e5c7bd63e4bc474c802017677d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Maillard <zedek@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2007 20:20:18 +0100 Subject: * Added 2007 to the copyright notice To: <maillaxa@xxxxxxxxx> * Added a note on relation between org-publish and blorg * Changed/corrected things here and there * Added a warning on needed skills before manipulating your own templates --- doc/blorg.texi | 31 +++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) The "To" header has been set up in my .git/config file. But why the 'Subject' is like this and also why are there 2 'From' headers ? Actually, why can't I just do like this ? : git format-patch <origin> | git send-email ? Thank you for your explanations.
