Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Documentation: publicize KMail hints for sending patches inline
Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2011 21:32:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110415023255.GE19829@elie> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110415021100.GA19829@elie>
These hints are in git's private SubmittingPatches document but a
wider audience might be interested. Move them to the "git
format-patch" manpage.
I'm not sure what gotchas these hints are meant to work around.
They might be completely false.

A quick search for "how to send patches with KMail" gave me the
"external editor" trick. Do these instructions work? ;-)
Anyway, this patch reuses the current instructions from
SubmittingPatches as-is.
