[PATCH 2/3] send-email: drop misleading function prototype

From: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com>

The subroutine check_file_rev_conflict() is called from two places, both of which expects to pass a single scaler variable and see if that can be interpreted as a pathname or a revision name. It is defined with a function prototype ($) to force a scaler context while evaluating the arguments at the calling site but it does not help the current calling sites. The only effect it has is to hurt future calling sites that may want to build an argument list in an array variable and call it as check_file_rev_confict(@args).

Drop the misleading prototype, as Perlcritic suggests.
