I want a patch ready to submit, that is, a diff with the Signed-off-by tag as it is supposed to be able to do this, and the commit summary as it knows about it. There is no reason it would make me a mail in any format that I don't use. mbox is not standard, despite it storing messages themselves in RFC format. Besides the command is named git format-*patch* *not* format-mail! > Me thinks you are still fighting the tool instead of working with it. > No happiness found down that way. It's the tool that is fighting me instead of doing what I want it to do. It tries to impose a format on me that I don't want. There is no reason I want to setup a mail account on this box while I have all my mail on another box on another OS in another format (almost maildir just better). And I don't like having send-mails hiding elsewhere. Why does it think I want to let it send mails for me =3F I don't like apps that does things behind my back, that sounds so Windows-ish. :^\ I thought UNIX philosophy was all about interoperability... Let's see if it still works today... No commit since fc1c67bc2a43a53f7315b602e0c67f9604835fe1 =3F Hmm oh, no way to do a "git log" on a git: url without a clone =3F Btw, front page: "The a QEMU repository" typo. It could reuse a link too... http://savannah.nongnu.org/git/=3Fgroup=3Dqemu =3F Fran=C3=A7ois.
