We already generate a Date: header based on when the patch was
emailed. git-format-patch includes the Date: header of the
patch. Having two Date: headers is just confusing, so we
just use the current Date:
Often the mailed patches in a patch series are created over a
series of several hours or days, so the Date: header from the
original commit is incorrect for email, and often far off enough
for spam filters to complain.

OK. Log says:

Earlier we insisted that mbox file to begin with "From ". That
is fine as long as you feed format-patch output, but if you
handcraft the input file, this is unnecessary burden. We should
detect lines that look like e-mail headers and say that is also
a mbox file.
The other input file format is traditional "send lots of email",
whose first line would never look like e-mail headers, so this
is a safe change.
The original patch was done by Matthew Wilcox, which checked
explicitly for headers the script pays attention to.

An author name like 'A. U. Thor <a.u.thor@example.com>" is not a
valid RFC 2822 address; when placing it on From: line, we would
need to quote it, like this:

The command picked up only Subject, CC, and From headers in the
incoming mbox text. Sending out patches prepared by
git-format-patch with user's custom headers was impossible with
that.
Just keep the ones it does not need to look at and add them to
the header of the message when sending it out.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
When an mbox-style patch contains a Cc: line in the header,
git-send-email will check the address against the sender specified
on the command line. If they don't match, sender_not_author will
be set to the address obtained from the Cc line.
When this happens, git-send-email inserts a From: line at the
beginning of the message body with the address obtained from the
Cc line in the header, and the sender might be accused of forging
patch authors.
This patch fixes this by only updating sender_not_author when
processing From: lines, not when processing Cc: lines.

When multiple recipients are given to git-send-email on the same
--cc line the code does not properly handle it.
Full and proper parsing of the email addresses so I can detect
which commas mean a new email address is more than I care to implement.
In particular this email address: "bibo,mao" <bibo.mao@intel.com>
must not be treated as two email addresses.
So this patch simply treats all commas in recipient lists as
an error and fails if one is given.
At the same time it documents that git-send-email wants multiple
instances of --cc specified on the command line if you want to
cc multiple recipients.

This cleans up the pattern matching subroutine by introducing
two variables to hold regexp to approximately match local-part
and domain in the e-mail address. It is meant to catch obvious
mistakes with a cheap check.
The patch also moves "scalar" to force Email::Valid->address()
to work in !wantarray environment to extract_valid_address;
earlier it was in the caller of the subroutine, which was way
too error prone.

I'm not sure why we never actually rejected invalid addresses in
the first place. We just seemed to be using our email validity
checkers to kill duplicates.
Now we just drop invalid email addresses completely and warn
the user about it.

addresses.

This should make local mailing possible for machines without
a connection to an SMTP server.
It'll default to using /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail
if no SMTP server is specified (the default). If it can't find
either of those paths, it'll fall back to connecting to an SMTP
server on localhost.

mutt, gnus, pine, mailrc formats should be supported.
Testing and feedback for correctness and completeness of all formats
and support for additional formats would be good.
Nested expansions are also supported.
More than one alias file to be used.
All alias file formats must still of be the same type, though.
Two git repo-config keys are required for this

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.
