I can't track cc: below the --- line because obviously, git cuts that off. So I put them above where git send-email can see them, AND where git can handle them when I rebase/revise/etc. Also, as Jon points out, the "environmental" argument seems very odd, it's not like bits cost more to send around (they keep getting cheaper in power and money), and processing power is pretty constant for servers handling email, so I don't understand the power consumption argument. Without some sort of data to back that up, I'd be loath to repeat it. thanks, greg k-h
