Re: How to prepend data when formatting patches ?

Hi

I'd like to add to all patchs created by "git-format-patch" command the following line:

        From: xxx.yyy <foo@crazy.com>

I took a look to the command options and git's hooks but I don't find a solution to this problem.

Is there any tricks to do this ?

thanks

From Documentation/git-format-patch.txt:

CONFIGURATION ------------- You can specify extra mail header lines to be added to each message in the repository configuration as follows:

[format]
        headers = "Organization: git-foo\n"

I stupily thought that it couldn't be used to prepend message for the message body. But since it appends the line at the end of mail header, it does the right thing for me.

Thanks for your quick answer

In the headers or in the message body? StGIT adds this line automatically in the message body (and recently only if the sender is different from the patch author but the templates are flexible and can be changed).

Johannes adviced me to use:

        [format]
                headers = "Organization: git-foo\n"

configuration. And it works both for mail header and message body.

thanks
