Subject: [PATCH v3] git-send-email: die if sendmail.* config is set
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 20:44:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200724004432.185167-1-sir@cmpwn.com> (raw)
I've seen several people mis-configure git send-email on their first
attempt because they set the sendmail.* config options - not
sendemail.*. This patch detects this mistake and bails out with a
friendly warning.
