That is:
	test_must_fail git send-email --dump-aliases --to=janice@example.com -1 refs/heads/accounting

Which matches the case described elsewhere in this thread. It's git-send-email.perl. test_must_fail is doing its job correctly by diagnosing a real bug in git-send-email.perl, which we're grateful for you having discovered. :)

Thanks, Jonathan
