Users may be authoring and committing their commits under the same e-mail address they use to send their patches from, in which case they shouldn't need to use the in-body From: line in their outgoing e-mails. At the receiving end, "git am" will use the address on the "From:" header of the incoming e-mail and all should be well. Some mailing lists, however, mangle the From: address from what the original sender had; in such an unfortunate situation, the user may want to add the in-body "From:" header even for their own patch. The two-patch series may help such users. * The first one introduces a small helper to separate the logic that decides when in-body From: is used. * The second one adds a minimum support with a new test. Junio C Hamano (2): pretty: separate out the logic to decide the use of in-body from format-patch: allow forcing the use of in-body From: header builtin/log.c | 2 ++ pretty.c | 13 ++++++++++++- revision.h | 1 + t/t4014-format-patch.sh | 13 +++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 2.37.2-587-g47adba97a9
