send-email violates the principle of least surprise by automatically
cc'ing additional recipients without confirming this with the user.
This patch teaches send-email a --confirm option. It takes the
following values:
--confirm=always always confirm before sending
--confirm=never never confirm before sending
--confirm=cc confirm before sending when send-email has
automatically added addresses from the patch to
the Cc list
--confirm=compose confirm before sending the first message when
using --compose. (Needed to maintain backwards
compatibility with existing behavior.)
--confirm=auto 'cc' + 'compose'
If sendemail.confirm is unconfigured, the option defaults to 'compose'
if any suppress-Cc related options have been used, otherwise it defaults
to 'auto'.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to introduce this patch such that it
helps new users without potentially annoying some existing users. We
attempt to mitigate the latter by:
* Allowing the user to set 'git config sendemail.confirm never'
* Allowing the user to say 'all' after the first prompt to not be
prompted on remaining emails during the same invocation.
* Telling the user about the 'sendemail.confirm' setting if it is
unconfigured whenever we prompt due to Cc before sending.
* Only prompting if no --suppress related options have been passed, as
using such an option is likely to indicate an experienced send-email
user.
There is a slight fib in message informing the user of the
sendemail.confirm setting and this is intentional. Setting 'auto'
differs from leaving sendemail.confirm unset in two ways: 1) 'auto'
obviously squelches the informational message; 2) 'auto' prompts when
the Cc list has been expanded even in the presence of a --suppress
related option, where leaving sendemail.confirm unset does not. This is
intentional to keep the message simple, and to avoid adding another
sendemail.confirm value ('auto-except-suppress'?).

Commit eed6ca7 caused a minor regression when it switched to using
tempfile() to generate the temporary compose file. Since tempfile()
creates the file at the time it generates the filename, zero-length
temporary files are being left behind unless --compose is used (in which
case the file is cleaned up).
This patch fixes the regression by not calling tempfile() to generate
the compose filename unless --compose is in use.

Since 6564828 (git-send-email: Generalize auto-cc recipient
mechanism., 2007-12-25) we can suppress automatic Cc generation
separately for each of the possible address sources. However,
--suppress-cc=sob suppressed both SOB lines and body (but not header)
Cc lines, contrary to the name.
Change --suppress-cc=sob to mean only SOB lines, and add separate
choices 'bodycc' (body Cc lines) and 'body' (both 'sob' and 'bodycc').
The option --no-signed-off-by-cc now acts like --suppress-cc=sob,
which is not backwards compatible but matches the name of the option.
Also update the documentation and add a few tests.
Original patch by me. Revised by Thomas Rast, who contributed the

When git format-patch is given multiple --cc arguments, it generates a
Cc header that looks like:
Cc: first@example.com,
second@example.com,
third@example.com
Before this commit, send-email was unable to handle such a message as it
did not handle folded header lines, nor multiple recipients in a Cc
line.
This patch:
- Unfolds header lines by pre-processing the header before extracting
any of its fields.
- Handles Cc lines with multiple recipients.
- Adds use of Mail::Address if available for splitting Cc line and
the "Who should the emails be sent to?" prompt", with fall back to
existing split_addrs() function.
- Tests the new functionality and adds two tests for detecting whether
"From:" appears correctly in message body when patch author differs
from patch sender.

This fixes the git-send-perl semantics for launching an editor when
$GIT_EDITOR (or friends) contains shell metacharacters to match
launch_editor() in builtin-tag.c. If we use the current approach
(sh -c '$0 $@' "$EDITOR" files ...), we see it fails when $EDITOR has
shell metacharacters:
$ sh -x -c '$0 $@' "$VISUAL" "foo"
+ "$FAKE_EDITOR" foo
"$FAKE_EDITOR": 1: "$FAKE_EDITOR": not found
Whereas builtin-tag.c will invoke sh -c "$EDITOR \"$@\"".

C utilities, and additionally updates t/t9001-send-email.sh to test for

The logic to countermand suppression of Cc to the signers with a more
explicit --signed-off-by option done in 6564828 (git-send-email:

error.
A --signed-off-cc option, when false, should actively suppress CC: to be
generated out of S-o-b lines, and it should refrain from suppressing when
it is true.
It also fixes "(sob) Adding cc:" status output; earlier it included the

There are a few options to git-send-email to suppress the automatic

However, there are other times that git-send-email automatically

environments.
Add a new option --suppress-cc, which can be specified one or more
times to list the categories of auto-cc fields that should be
suppressed. If not specified, it defaults to values to give the same
behavior as specified by --suppress-from, and --signed-off-cc. The
categories are:
self - patch sender. Same as --suppress-from.
author - patch author.
cc - cc lines mentioned in the patch.
