By default, git-send-email automatically copies the addresses mentioned with Cc: in the commit message, so I always assumed that this is what people intend with these tags. Of course, in practice many of us have suppresscc = "all" in their config to avoid downstream accidents, so maybe there is another use? The only time I use it is for "Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org". I'm not sure if it still works like this, but people used to look for this in the commit history when preparing stable releases. (It's useful because sometimes people forget to actually CC the qemu-stable list when sending the patches.) Kevin
