Subject: Awkward and confusing question in git --send-email

Git --send-email poses the question:

 "Who should the emails be sent to (if any)?"

Apart from sounding clumsy (not to mention incorrect grammar), it took me a while to work out what this meant.

I suggest this be changed to :

"To whom should the email be sent (if anyone) ?"
