When I issue this command:

git-send-email --from Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> --suppress-cc=all --to timur@tabi.org --smtp-server remotesmtp.freescale.net 0001--PATCH-Update-CS4270-driver-to-ASoC-V2.patch

I get this output:
Skipping  - not found.
0001--PATCH-Update-CS4270-driver-to-ASoC-V2.patch
OK. Log says:

I don't know enough about Perl to debug this, but I presume the problem is in this code:

for my $f (@ARGV) {
	if (-d $f) {
		opendir(DH,$f)
			or die "Failed to opendir $f: $!";
		push @files, grep { -f $_ } map { +$f . "/" . $_ }
				sort readdir(DH);
	} elsif (-f $f) {
		push @files, $f;
	} else {
		print STDERR "Skipping $f - not found.\n";
	}
}
My guess is that "$f", at some point, is an empty string or a blank space.

Surely that is not the command you issued, since it lacks shell quoting around your name and email address.

Yes, that is what is producing the error message. But that is the first time we ever look at @ARGV, let alone modify it. So the error is almost certainly caused by a blank argument being passed on the command line. And we can't debug that unless you show us the exact shell invocation that was used.

You're right. It's the output from an "echo" command in a shell script, which likes to remove quotation marks. I keep forgetting that it does that.

Right again! I did a more through check of the command-line arguments, and I am sending '' as one argument on the command line.

I just rewrote my script so that it doesn't ever send a null argument. Thanks for the help.
