Sorry > for the confusion. Using Net::NNTP to query NNTP servers using ->xover([recent-ish range]) to scan for Message-IDs and Subjects matching the current ident could be an option, too. It could cache the xover result for --dry-run and format-patch cases; and Net::NNTP is a standard Perl module. Going online to do this query also benefits people who work across different machines/environments, as it's one less thing to sync. Fwiw, this list has: nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git nntp://news.public-inbox.org/inbox.comp.version-control.git And there's a bunch of kernel lists at nntp://nntp.lore.kernel.org/
