I just upgraded to 1.5.4, and when I tried to use git-send-email with my usual parameters, I got this:

Unknown option: no-signed-off-by-cc git-send-email [options] <file | directory>...

The documentation for git-send-email still lists this option.

Except that the "no" and "signed" are not separated by "-".

       --no-signed-off-by-cc
              Do  not add emails found in Signed-off-by: lines to the cc list.

However, when I removed the "-", it worked.  So thanks for that.

It *used* to work with the "-", so I consider it a bug.

git-send-email.txt does still mention --no-signed-off-by-cc, and additionally --no-chain-reply-to, --no-suppress-from, and --no-thread.

Shouldn't either work? This is from the Getopt::Long man page:

       !   The option does not take an argument and may be negated, i.e. pre-
           fixed by "no". E.g. "foo!" will allow "--foo" (a value of 1 will
           be assigned) and "--nofoo" and "--no-foo" (a value of 0 will be
           assigned). If the option has aliases, this applies to the aliases
           as well.

Looks like --no-signed-off-by-cc or --nosigned-off-by-cc should work, no?
