You missed the ~/proj as in:

$ git clone --bare ~/proj proj.git

What do you think about the rest of my changes, in particular:

The version of git-send-email I was using is supposed to do that
automatically based on the inlined Cc: line.  Did it not do that?

Yes, you're correct, thanks for your persistence.

The others--I don't remember.  I'll take a quick look.  If you want to
be sure they'll all be considered, you could update the patch and
resend.

More typo fixes from Santi Béjar, plus a couple other mistakes I noticed
along the way.

Hm.  I still see

	Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

in the headers, even in the copy saved in my sent-mail folder.  My
locale seems to be set to something utf-8-ish everywhere, though.  Is
there some odd mutt configuration setting I'm missing someplace?
Character sets mystify me....

But this time, it looks good to me. This is probably because the
headers say the body is QP-encoded latin1:

  Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE

and the body actually _is_ QP-encoded latin1:

  More typo fixes from Santi B=E9jar

Note how the "é" is encoded with only one byte this time, like it's
supposed to in latin1.
