Hello Git community,
To send a formatted git patch as an email using git I use `git
send-email`. Using another email address than my default one requires
the 'smtp-server-option' to be set, and currently this flag doesn't care
much for spaces. Is this desired?
Currently my gitconfig contains the following line:
sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a<myaccount>
Whereas, the following results in an 'account' not found error:
sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a <myaccount>
Further, the full account flag (--account) is not recognized by
`send-email`. Could someone expand a bit on the reasoning behind this?
Regards,
Chris

Do you mean that your ~/.gitconfig literally contains that exact line?
I would be surprised to hear that syntax works --- see [1] for the
syntax I would expect to work.
If you have more details, that would help.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Yes that's the exact line in my gitconfig file, which correctly mails
using the non-default account I'm after - I'm assuming you're noticing
the lack of camelCase? To be honest, that came from zsh autosuggestions,
which are all lower-case for some reason.
My question is just regarding the syntax of the smtp server option,
namely about the (lack of a) space

No, case shouldn't matter. I'm noticing the it looks like
foo.bar=baz
instead of
[foo]
bar = baz
(i.e. it seems to be some syntax other than ini syntax). E.g. I tried
echo a.b=c >test.config
git config -f test.config -l
and get
fatal: bad config line 1 in file test.config
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
Sorry for the inconsistency, you're write about the gitconfig syntax. I
was actually printing out the config using `git config --local --list`.
The actual config file has the two lines:
[sendemail]
smtpserveroption = -a<myaccount>
Regards,
Chris

I realized what my issue was when looking closer at the documentation -
the smtp-server-option needs to be included as separate lines:
[sendemail]
smtpserveroption = --account
smtpserveroption = <myaccount>
I'm assuming this is intended behavior.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
