[PATCH] send-email: Use To: headers in patch files

[PATCH] send-email: Use To: headers in patch files

[Stephen Boyd]

It's a minor annoyance when you take the painstaking time to setup To:
headers for each patch in a large series, and then go out to send the
series with git-send-email and watch git ignore the To: headers in the
patch files.

Therefore, always add To: headers from a patch file to the To: headers
for that message. Keep the prompt for the blanket To: header so as to
not break scripts (and user expectations). This means even if a patch
has a To: header, git will prompt for the To: address. Otherwise, we'll
need to introduce interface breakage to either request the header for
each patch missing a To: header or default the header to whatever To:
address is found first (be it in a patch or from user input). Both of
these options don't seem very obvious/useful.

This is a resend of a patch a few weeks ago with some added tests.

Why not:

    git format-patch -1 --to="bodies@example.com" &&
    test_when_finished "rm *.patch" &&
    git send-email [...] *.patch >out &&
    [...]
