From: Ryan Anderson Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2006 16:56:06 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Provide a more meaningful initial "From " line when using --compose in git-send-email. Message-ID: <11388993663675-git-send-email-ryan@michonline.com> In-Reply-To: <11388993661745-git-send-email-ryan@michonline.com> 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.
