Subject: git-send-email doesn't entirely understand --subject (or --in-reply-to)
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 15:40:59 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAC4O8c-Tf11CpwuRudyrpXv5bGshuyEenV9kKrs0zRWER-+yHA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm not absolutely sure this is git's fault but I tried to use the
reply mechanism described here:
https://public-inbox.org/git/20220718232843.151392-1-britton.kerin@gmail.com/#R
whic is to say this:
git send-email \
--in-reply-to=20220718232843.151392-1-britton.kerin@gmail.com \
--to=britton.kerin@gmail.com \
--cc=git@vger.kernel.org \
--cc=gitster@pobox.com \
--cc=newren@gmail.com \
--subject='Re: BUG: git-check-ignore documentation doesn'\''t
come close to describing what it really does' \
/path/to/YOUR_REPLY
and it failed like this:
$ git send-email --in-reply-to=xmqqtu7lc587.fsf@gitster.g
--to=britton.kerin@gmail.com --subject='Re: BUG: git-check-ignore
documentation doesn'\''t come close to describing what it really does'
~/my_reply_git_checkignore_bug_post
/home/bkerin/my_reply_git_checkignore_bug_post
No subject line in /home/bkerin/my_reply_git_checkignore_bug_post? at
/usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 720.
Until I added this line to the top of
/home/bkerin/my_reply_git_checkignore_bug_post:
Subject: Re: BUG: git-check-ignore documentation doesn't come
close to describing what it really does
maybe this is normal but it seems weird given the presence of
--in-reply-to and --subject and the fact that I didn't need to copy
any other headers in.
