I know\nfrom looking at the code that send-email actually calls format-patch\nwith the rev-list passed on the command line.\n\nMaybe it would be more clear to say that rev-list can be specified in\nthe same way as format-patch? Also, could you update the first sentence\nin the description section? Obviously send-email takes more than just\npatches on the command line.\n"},{"id":"116060","messageId":"1244705427-3376-1-git-send-email-bonzini@gnu.org","threadId":"19769","inReplyTo":"4A30568E.7060503@gmail.com","subject":"[PATCH v2] doc tweak for git-send-email","fromName":"Paolo Bonzini","fromEmail":"bonzini@gnu.org","sentAt":"2009-06-11T07:30:27Z","receivedAt":"2009-06-11T07:30:27Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"bonzini@gnu.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/42082?v=4"},"body":"The git-send-email docs do not mention except in the usage lines\nthe combined patch formatting/sending ability of git-send-email.\nThis patch expands on the possible arguments to git-send-email\nand explains the meaning of the rev-list argument.\n\nSigned-off-by: Paolo Bonzini \n---\n Documentation/git-send-email.txt | 4 ++++\n 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)\n\ndiff --git a/Documentation/git-send-email.txt b/Documentation/git-send-email.txt\nindex 794224b..a282190 100644\n--- a/Documentation/git-send-email.txt\n+++ b/Documentation/git-send-email.txt\n@@ -14,6 +14,10 @@ SYNOPSIS\n DESCRIPTION\n -----------\n Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.\n+Patches can be specified as files, directories (which will send all\n+files in the directory), or directly as a revision list.
