[PATCH v3] git-send-email: die if sendmail.* config is set

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've seen several people mis-configure git send-email on their first
attempt because they set the sendmail.* config options - not
sendemail.*. This patch detects this mistake and bails out with a
friendly warning.
