I wonder if feeding the list into a pipe to 'update-index --stdin' would be an option. BTW, please do not do this: Mail-Followup-To: Junio C Hamano , Matthias Urlichs , git@vger.kernel.org It is simply rude. * I and/or Smurf may be uninterested in hearing the whole discussion thread started by you. We might well be, but that is not something you shoudl decide upfront in your message. * When a recipient of your message tries to "[R]eply" to *you*, that Mail-Followup-To: would cause the MUA to address that message to me and/or smurf by default, not to you. I had to edit the resulting To: header by hand to address this response to you. Why force extra work on others? I know why you did it --- you subscribe to git list and otherwise you would get two copies. That is _not_ a good excuse. That is how mailing lists work; either you filter the duplicates on your end, or you learn to live with it. Please don't force extra work on others. I think the only header mucking of this kind that is acceptable is to remove yourself from CC: line when the mailing list you subscribe to is already on the CC: line.
