Subject: [PATCH v2] doc tweak for git-send-email
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:30:27 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244705427-3376-1-git-send-email-bonzini@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4A30568E.7060503@gmail.com>
The git-send-email docs do not mention except in the usage lines
the combined patch formatting/sending ability of git-send-email.
This patch expands on the possible arguments to git-send-email
and explains the meaning of the rev-list argument.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Takes the patches given on the command line and emails them out.
+Patches can be specified as files, directories (which will send all
+files in the directory), or directly as a revision list. In the
+last case, any format accepted by linkgit:git-format-patch[1] can
+be passed to git send-email.
The header of the email is configurable by command line options. If not
specified on the command line, the user will be prompted with a ReadLine
