Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/37015 ## Sergio Durigan Junior, 2014-06-28 04:54 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: Mention '--subject-prefix' in git-send-email's manual Message-ID: <1403931262-21679-1-git-send-email-sergiodj@sergiodj.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1403931262-21679-1-git-send-email-sergiodj%40sergiodj.net ``` This commit adds a mention to the '--subject-prefix' option in git-send-email's documentation. This option is already described in git-format-patch's docs (because it belongs to this command, actually), but it is very useful when you are submitting patches using git-send-email too, for obvious reasons. The text describing the option has been adapted from git-format-patch, in order to be "self-contained" and not mention other options that are not present in git-send-email's docs (e.g., '--numbered').
