From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:30:27 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2] doc tweak for git-send-email Message-ID: <1244705427-3376-1-git-send-email-bonzini@gnu.org> In-Reply-To: <4A30568E.7060503@gmail.com> The git-send-email docs do not mention except in the usage lines the combined patch formatting/sending ability of git-send-email. This patch expands on the possible arguments to git-send-email and explains the meaning of the rev-list argument.
