I didn't manage to apply the patch so I haven't tried it out. Some
questions:
1. There is already `--compose` which is clearly different. What's the
difference between a cover letter an an introduction? That's a more
immediate question now with two similar-looking options.
2. This would be really useful in `format-patch`. One could write the
cover letter immediately instead of either (1) editing the generated
one (placeholders) or (2) providing a file.
- Personally I don't use `send-email` immediately—I use `format-patch`
to generate everything so that I can review it before any
sending. But there are many different workflows.
3. Does this editor only deal with the subject and the message part before
the diffstat and all the auto-generated stuff? And then it applies it
after the user closes the editor (to make the complete cover letter)?
