Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Provide a more meaningful initial "From " line when using --compose in git-send-email.
Message-ID: <11388993663675-git-send-email-ryan@michonline.com>

```
git-send-email, when used with --compose, provided the user with a mbox-format
file to edit.  Some users, however, were confused by the leading, blank, "From
" line, so this change puts the value that will appear on the From: line of the
actual email on this line, along with a note that the line is ignored.
