From: Ryan Anderson Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2006 16:56:06 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Provide a more meaningful initial "From " line when using --compose in git-send-email. X-Git-Tag: v1.2.0~73 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/d366c7037679794edff38cdbc422997607aca5f1 Provide a more meaningful initial "From " line when using --compose in git-send-email. git-send-email, when used with --compose, provided the user with a mbox-format file to edit. Some users, however, were confused by the leading, blank, "From " line, so this change puts the value that will appear on the From: line of the actual email on this line, along with a note that the line is ignored.
