That failed. I tried with 2.12 version first and then on the next branch with version: 2.13.0.303.g4ebf3021692d

$ git -c sendemail.tocmd=/bin/false send-email --to vingu 0001-abc.patch 0001-abc.patch (mbox) Adding cc: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> from line 'From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>' (body) Adding cc: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> from line 'Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>' (to-cmd) failed to close pipe to '/bin/false' at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 1687.
