Package: git-email Version: 1:1.7.1-1.1 Severity: normal It is very easy to shoot yourself into the respective foot when combining git format-patch with git send-email:

Bug report written on lenny, I originally experienced the issue with the backport 1:1.7.1-1.1~bpo50+1 but have verified that the package in sid behaves the same way. cu andreas -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-email depends on: ii git 1:1.7.1-1.1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi Versions of packages git-email recommends: pn libauthen-sasl-perl <none> (no description available) ii libemail-valid-perl 0.179-2 Check validity of Internet email a pn libnet-smtp-ssl-perl <none> (no description available) Versions of packages git-email suggests: pn git-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
