Hi,
i currently have the problem that, if I set sendemail.from and sendemail.to in
git-config (from global and to project-specific but that doesn't matter) git
send-email doesn't ask me for a in-reply-to message-ID. I set these 2 config
options for convenience. But i also want to specify a message-id after calling
git send-email to get a proper thread on the mailing list.
I dived into git-send-email.perl and found $prompting which is only != 0 if
$sender or @to isn't already set (lines 672-685). On line 706-709 there are
some check whether $initial_reply_to should be asked or not. If $prompting is
sitll 0 $initial_reply_to will not be asked.
In my opinion git send-email should always ask for in-reply-to. I know there
is --in-reply-to option but this keeps me from using the git command from
shell history as i have to modify the parameter each time.
What do you think about it?
Best regards
Alexander

I do find this annoying: my name doesn't change often, so I want to
give it in ~/.gitconfig, but then the prompt for a message-id
disapears. But I didn't find time to make a patch :-(.

This patch removes the prompting variable so git send-email always asks
for a in-reply message ID (unless specified on command line) even when
sendemail.from and sendemail.to is set in ~/.gitconfig or .git/config

Perhaps it would be better accompanied with a test addition in
t9001-send-email.sh.

Does this mean there's no way to run send-email non-interactively
without a reply-to?
I do want to get the prompt even though I want to set the sender field
in my ~/.gitconfig, but I wouldn't want the prompt to appear in the
cron job I run every nights to send me new patches in some repo for
example (a change in git-send-email already broke it in the past,
that's a rather anoying failure).
You probably want an option to enable/disable prompting. I'm not sure
whether it should be opt-in or opt-out.

Did you run the existing test suite unattended and make sure everything
still passes?

During test suite run I noticed this patch doesn't allow to run the suite
unattended. This may only work with some config option as Matthieu already
pointed out.
I will rethink about this problem and repost a new patch
