I'm using git v1.4.4.4, and trying to use directly git-send-email on plain files.
bug #1 (default values when prompting do not work)
According to git-send-email documentation, it should suggest default values when prompting the user.
However it does not, since ->readline does not accept a default value.
I've verified this in man Term\:\:ReadLine and by looking at /usr/share/perl/5.8.7/Term/ReadLine.pm, and with the perl debugger - the default is correctly calculated but not printed. At least with my perl (5.8.7, from up-to-date Ubuntu 6.06 LTS).
git-send-email should instead say "press Enter for default [$default]" and behave correspondingly.
bug #2 (subject line is cut away but ignored)
Additionally, I was sending a patch starting with (on 1st line):
Kconfig: FAULT_INJECTION can be selected only if LOCKDEP is enabled.
'Kconfig:' is interpreted as a mbox parameter, and ignored, and that line is removed from the email.
This should be documented and pitfall, and probably the user should be allowed to override that.
Thanks.
