git-send-email-script(1)
=======================
v0.1, July 2005

NAME
----
git-send-email-script - Send a collection of patches as emails


SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-send-email-script' [options] <file|directory> [... file|directory]



DESCRIPTION
-----------
Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.

The header of the email is configurable by command line options. If not
specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
enabled interface to provide the necessary information.

The options available are:

--to
Specify the primary recipient of the emails generated.
Generally, this will be the upstream maintainer of the
project involved.

--from
Specify the sender of the emails. This will default to
the value GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT, as returned by "git-var -l".
The user will still be prompted to confirm this entry.

--subject
Specify the initial subject of the email thread.

--in-reply-to
Specify the contents of the first In-Reply-To header.
Subsequent emails will refer to the previous email
instead of this.
When overriding on the command line, it may be necessary
to set this to a space. For example
--in-reply-to=" "
