Sure - that's part of why this series reads WIP :)

I'm also not entirely satisfied with duplicating the existing descriptions from the send-email manpage, like I have done for those with a desctiption. We could just mention all the flags with a "See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for details.", although it looks a bit inconsistent with the common usage, before going into a massive migration of these parameters into config.txt.

Would that be seen as reasonable ?
