Yeah, I said this number of times over time, and I said it once recently in another thread, but I think it was a mistake to allow git-send-email to drive format-patch. It may appear that it will make things convenient in the perfect world where no user makes mistakes, but people are not perfect in real life. Expecting them to be is being naive.
