Finally giving up on git-send-email (I won't install the 6 perl-modules it requires and I don't know perl enough to remove the need for them), I hacked up a replacement in sh. It's more aptly named as well. ;)
It tries to be fairly newbie-friendly in what it accepts so that new developers on a project easily can submit patches upstream in the desired format.
This is just a draft. If anyone thinks it's a good idea then say so and I'll write the man-page and re-submit it as a proper patch.
It's better than the perl version because; 1. It doesn't have any requirements other than normal unix-commands and "mail" being in the path. 2. It can generate the patches on the fly, using git-format-patch.
It's worse than the perl version because; 1. It doesn't thread the patch-series (which I personally prefer anyway since it's easier to follow a thread on a particular patch that way). 2. The patches sent within the same second arrive in random order.
Sorry about the attachment btw. Thunderbird seems to wrap lines no matter what I tell it.
Thoughts? Comments?
