Scripting support for telling if a b4 series is sendable

Scripting support for telling if a b4 series is sendable

Hi,

b4 has logic for detecting if there is an unedited cover letter which
would be used in sending.  It would be helpful for scripting around b4
if it were possible to query to see if this check will fail separately
to trying to send a series.

Thanks,
Mark

ez: show if the cover letter needs editing

If we have "EDITME" in the cover letter, show 'needs-editing' in the
output of "b4 prep --show-info".

I've added 'needs-editing' to the output of "b4 prep --show-info". It will
also probably include 'needs-checking' and a few other 'needs-*' entries as
the feature set grows, at which point I may add a separate summarizing
'send-ready' entry.

Give it a whirl and please follow up if it's not what you were looking for.
