[PATCH V4] git-send-email.perl: Add --to-cmd

From
Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date
Sep 24, 2010, 17:03 UTC
Message-ID
<1285347780.11616.97.camel@Joe-Laptop>
In-Reply-To
<AANLkTinGZ1H3ODYwRhvzya_UkA8t2QTW7cEyjb2Hx_7M@mail.gmail.com>

Add the ability to use a command line --to-cmd=cmd to create the list of "To:" addresses.

Used a shared routine for --cc-cmd and --to-cmd.

Did not use IPC::Open2, leaving that for Ævar if ever he decides to fix the other bugs he might find.
